Carnelian Brown Chalcedony Taotie Mask Pendant Hand Carved Asian Revival

This heavy pendant is hand carved from deep brown carnelian chalcedony in the form of a stylized Taotie mask, a motif rooted in early Chinese art. The piece shows fine detailing and displays strong light translucence when backlit. Cool to the touch and highly polished, it reflects the 20th-century revival of archaic Chinese symbolism. It appears to have been part of a larger piece at some point, and I am selling it as I received it, as shown in photos.
