Like some primal nature spirit, this jade deity
appears to be emerging from the depths of the
stone itself. He rises organically from its core,
making us forget the skilled hand of the artist.
The jade is a soothing green color, as cool and
quiet as a pool in the heart of the jungle; it
invites the touch even as it delights the eyes.
Centuries ago, some person of rank wore this
pendant to protect against evil. Its magic seems
very old, benevolent and mysterious, as potent
today as it was long ago.
