It is a piece that bypasses simple ornamentation to invoke the raw, protective power of the ancient world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe entire focus of this ring is the prominent almost three dimensional relief mask of the Taotie 饕餮—the fierce, primordial guardian beast found on Bronze Age ritual vessels in Ancient China. The artisan has sculpted the creature's prominent, sweeping horns and hyper-focused eyes directly out of this material which also has a \"Sprinkled Gold Skin\" (洒金皮) patina. In ancient myth, the Taotie is an emblem of protective fury, a creature so voracious it devoured everything—including its own body—leaving only its powerful, watchful face to ward off malevolent forces. By having this totem, the ring becomes a psychological shield, a physical reminder of absolute boundaries, restraint, and internal sovereignty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eAs you touch and turn the raised reliefs of the Taotie mask during moments of focus, revel in the dense, misty, greenish-white Qingbai nephrite substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternal Diameter: 20.5mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApproximate Weight: 30.3g\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNephrite essential information: we are aware that in the trade many people sell their nephrites coated or bathed in mineral oils that allows nephrites, especially pebble materials, to appear glossy and radiantly smooth, but over here at Kangiiten, we offer the nephrites in its original, raw formats, to which you may observe that the surface can be dry, or colour being less intense than usual. The aim is to allow you to wear it and allow it to respond to human contact, warmth, to which it will quickly develop a delightful natural patina, in the process of 人养玉. So fret not if the nephrite surfaces appear dry upon receipt, we just do not want to coat or bath our jades in mineral oils.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KANGIITEN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45031773798608,"sku":"greenish-white-seed-nephrite-taotie-thumb-ring-with-sprinkled-gold-skin-20.5mm","price":688.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0577\/6667\/4640\/files\/taotieziliaogreenishwhitewithgoldshadings-20.5-01.jpg?v=1780553344","url":"https:\/\/www.kangiiten.com\/products\/greenish-white-seed-nephrite-taotie-thumb-ring-with-sprinkled-gold-skin-20-5mm","provider":"KANGIITEN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
