O soše
A jade Head Fragment from about 900–300 BCE is at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland. It may once have formed part of a seated or standing figure considerably larger than comparable examples. The carving distinguishes slight swelling beneath the eyes from the rounded lips, and defines the teeth within the mouth. Before each ear, an engraved supernatural face appears in profile. These paired images may indicate that the person represented possessed special powers. On view in gallery 233.
Slovy muzea
This sensual head fragment may come from a seated or standing figure like those shown nearby, though much larger. The carving is exceptionally fine, from the slight under-eye puffiness to the delineation of the fleshy lips and the teeth. The profile face of supernatural being is incised just in front of each ear, perhaps indicating that the subject had special power.
