Bird Pendant (Buzzard or Vulture?)

Cleveland Museum of Art

Green jade sculpture of a bird with its head tucked down and beak pointing to the ground. The bird has a large body with a smooth, glossy surface. It appears to have a long neck and legs, and its wings are folded against its back. The jade is a mottled green color with some white and yellow veins visible throughout. The bird pendant is sitting on a flat surface, and the background is a plain gray color that gradually darkens towards the top.
