Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 691-701 pages with plates and diagrams. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Volume 9, number 4 complete issue. First edition. A specimen was forwarded to the writer for examination. It proved to be a nephrite carving of exceptional character and interest, and after a brief correspondence carried on with a view of verifying the story of its discovery, it was acquired for the National collection. The carving which is shown in four views in the accompanying plates is more or less conical in shape, 6 $ inches in height and 3 inches in greatest diameter at the base. The upper part represents a human head with somewhat pointed crown, and with features well defined but primitive in treatment. The lower part of the face is masked with the beak of a bird, suggesting that of a duck or other water-fowl, carved in relief and extending like a beard down over the chest ; while covering the cheeks and passing half-way down the sides of the beak are two mustache-like devices in low relief. The idea of the bird suggested by the beak is further carried out by wings covering the sides of the figure, the lower margins of which are engraved with alternating lines and rectangles to represent feathers. Beneath the wings in incised outline are the legs and feet of the bird. Condition: Spine sunned, previous owner's name to front wrapper, corners bumped and chipped, front wrapper detached else very good.…
