Description

A PALE YELLOW AND RUSSET JADE ‘BIRD‘ PENDANT, LATE SHANG DYNASTY, ANYANG PHASE
This lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserve

China, c. 1200 BC. The flattened plaque finely carved in the form of a crested bird shown in profile with a hooked beak and short tail, neatly incised to both sides with double-line grooves evoking the scrolling wings and plumage, the translucent stone of a white tone with pale yellow nuances, russet veins and inclusions, dark specks, and few small areas of creamy-beige calcification.

Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. Acquired between circa 1965-2012.
Condition: Good condition with wear, traces of weathering and signs of prolonged burial, soil encrustations, few minor old losses to edges which have partially smoothened over time, the stone with natural fissures, some of which have developed into small hairline cracks.

Weight: 30 g
Dimensions: Height 8.2 cm

Expert’s note: The flat form of the present bird links it to the early birds linked with the Shijiahe Culture, Yangtze River region in Hubei Province, which show a similar treatment of incised designs and scales. See a fragment of a jade ornament in the form of a bird, dated to the Shijiahe culture, ca. 2500-2000 BC, 5.3 cm high, in the National Museum of Asian Art, Smithsonian Institution, accession number S1987.589.

Literature comparison:
Compare a related, slightly later jade bird pendant incised with double-line grooves, 11.2 cm long, dated to the Western Zhou dynasty, in the Cleveland Museum of Art, accession number 1972.38. Compare a related later jade bird pendant, 4.1 cm, dated to the Warring States period, of similar albeit curvier form and lacking the double-line grooves found on the present lot, in the Cleveland Museum of Art, accession number 1952.581.
