This image shows an ancient Chinese cong (or ts'ung), a type of jade artifact characterized by its cylindrical core and rectangular outer form. The piece appears weathered with a smooth surface and faint traces of reddish pigmentation, possibly representing wear or remnants of pigment from its use or burial. The corners are slightly beveled, and the material—the jade—displays natural variations in color and texture, ranging from pale brownish tones to reddish patches. Congs were typically used in rituals and often associated with burial practices or ceremonial purposes in ancient Chinese cultures, specifically during the Liangzhu period. The symmetrical design and craftsmanship reflect an early form of symbolic artistry.
