This is a hard to find vintage nephrite jade hair ornament dating from the early 1900s. It was designed to go over a ponytail or bun with the jade hairpin fitting through two holes in the jade circlet. It has a beautiful silky feel and glossy finish and the color is a deep celadon almost khaki green. There is incised carving around the circlet. One side has Chinese characters which may be a poem, and the other side has an incised floral design. It is in fine condition with no chips or cracks. It weighs 114.8 grams and is a little over 2.5 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches wide. The hairpin in 4.5 inches long.
