White jade, partially infused with black, with an overall flattened round shape and mystic patterns. The entire piece exhibits an elegant form, exquisite craftsmanship, a well-developed patina, and charming natural color infusions, fully showcasing its ancient charm. The Lezi was originally a utilitarian object, an attachment used for ropes after knotting them in productive labor. Animal hides were wrapped around the rope and secured at both ends with thin cords to provide a gripping function. Later, it evolved into more durable stone and jade materials, eventually becoming an ornament.
