What does this mean?

Dear Vincent,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry, once again.

Based on images and available information, this item is:

A Chinese Jade ceremonial spearhead with beautiful polish from neolithic period as judged from its design.

The extraordinary emphasis placed on ancestor worship and state ritual necessitated the production of massive numbers of bronze vessels and ceremonial weapons. Ceremonial weaponry, such as this, were an important part of state regalia.

Good condition.

Retail prices may vary.
