? A RARE JADE ‘PRANCING TIGER’ PENDANT, WARRING STATES PERIOD

Expert authentication: Dr. Gu Fang has examined the present lot and confirms its authenticity and the dating above, noting the style of cutting, workmanship, thickness and quality of stone with decomposed areas indicating burial all suggest a dating to 475-221 BC. He assessed it as a piece of notably good quality. A signed copy of Dr. Gu's expertise, dated 8 July 2022, accompanies this lot.
Dr. Gu Fang (born 1962) is an internationally renowned scholar of Chinese art and a leading authority on jades. He graduated from the Department of Archaeology at the prestigious Beijing University in 1986 and later studied at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), where he now serves as a Senior Fellow specializing in archaeological excavations and Chinese jade research. A former visiting scholar at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, he has authored several books on Chinese jades, including the 15-volume The Complete Collection of Jades Unearthed in China (2007), one of the most comprehensive studies of its kind, as well as Chinese Jade: The Spiritual and Cultural Significance of Jade in China (2012).

China, 475-221 BC. Of flattened form, the sinuous single-horned dragon with its head and body neatly carved with raised, thick scrollwork and stylized animal masks, its legs decorated with minutely incised scales. The upper part of its back pierced with an aperture for suspension. The opaque stone of buff color with gray patches.

Provenance: From a private collection in New York. Two old labels to the lower rim inscribed ‘70962 – 16410’ and ‘17’.
