Description | Fragment of grey-green jade tablet (gui) mottled slightly with much blue. The tablet also has moss-like brown veins on the handle. It is very thin, the thickest place (at the hole) being only 1/16" deep. There is a part of it which has broken off (now missing). It may have been originally twice the length. |
