SMALL AVIAN AXE GOD This small representation of an axe god appears to be a remnant fragment that was finished more as a bead than a pendant. The front side has and avian "beak" design that is typically seen on a large percentage of normal size axe gods. The back side is smooth except for a saw line ridge marking where the sawing processes met from both ends. One edge is interesting for a deep cut groove that remains from some previous manufacturing project. This small axe god is made of jadeite and it measures 1 5/8 inches (4.1 cm) long.
