Description
Description part summary
A chignon of fine lychee-flesh jade. The sides are pierced for pin and for circulation of air, the rest is plain but unusually a flap extends at the rear. Fine quality jade of this prized lychee-flesh colour was available during most of the Northern Song period particularly from 951-1028, but thereafter was available less and less and ceased to be available altogether in the Ming after Emperor Xuande.
