Abstract

1. Scope and Purpose This dataset documents a single anthropomorphic face-shaped jade artifact, representing one specimen within a systematic digital archival project consisting of a series of morphologically related face-form objects. The record aims to provide a standardized visual reference through multi-angle imaging, offering the research community a verifiable baseline dataset to support subsequent scholarly work. When used within the framework of clearly defined research questions and methodology, this dataset may support comparative morphological studies, teaching examples, and non-invasive reanalysis based on visual evidence. Access Statement: This record represents a public preview version. The corresponding research-grade high-resolution raw/TIFF image dataset (Record B) has been published separately under restricted access. Researchers may request access via the following DOI: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.18608530 2. Academic Neutrality & Disclaimer This dataset follows a non-interpretive documentation principle, ensuring scientific neutrality and methodological transparency. All textual descriptions and images are restricted to directly observable phenomena and do not constitute, nor imply, any archaeological attribution, cultural assignment, chronological determination, or historical interpretation. This record does not include any judgments or assessments regarding the artifact’s provenance, function, academic significance, or commercial value, and does not constitute conclusive statements.
