Likely archaic Chinese carved jade pendant in the form of a goose. With a dusty brown irregular surface along the body of the goose with a small spot of translucent gray along the tail. Smooth overall polish. The goose turns its head towards its back. The polish, form, and patina all strongly support archaic dating.
