象形玉飾,出土於殷墟西北岡遺址1728號墓。黃綠色,微帶雲翳狀組織,玉質溫潤,磨製平滑。一面全體表面有灰褐沁,另一面局部有褐沁。背部寬平,身體扁平。長鼻以穿孔表現捲曲貌,器身細節以單線陰刻刻畫,豎向「臣」字眼,大耳、四足、尾部均著意刻出,尺寸雖小,但製作精緻。
This elephant pendant is made of yellow and green jade with some cloudy inclusions. The texture of the jade piece is soft and sleek as it has been delicately polished. On one side there are a large number of grey to brown inclusions, whereas on the other side there are only a small number of brown inclusions. The jade piece has a flat and narrow body and a wide back. A hole was drilled around the trunk to portray how it curls, while most of the remaining details of the body were drawn with single incised lines. The eye of the elephant is in the form of a vertical “臣” character. The outline of the big ears, four feet and the tail were also depicted. Despite its small size, it was made delicately.
