Buckle

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows a green jade carving titled "Buckle" by an unknown artist. The carving is long and narrow with a glossy finish. It is mostly a bright green color with some slightly darker green areas. The left end has a cylindrical shape with raised decorative bands around it. The rest of the piece has a low relief carving of a dragon. The dragon has its mouth open and appears to be flying or moving toward the left. The dragon's head is at the right end of the piece. The background of the image is black at the top and fades to gray at the bottom.
