拍品描述
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 15 March 2006, 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. Superbly carved, the sinuous beast shown in profile and elegantly worked in a dynamic pose, one forelimb extended as it strides forward, its tail curling gracefully over its back, the animated head raised with jaw wide open and whiskers and mane trailing in stylized scrolls. The body subtly incised with C-scrolls and hook-scrolls, as well as minute incision work to the haunches and agile limbs. The translucent stone with large areas of calcification, now of a creamy cream-white color with nuances of sage-green and russet-brown.Provenance: From a private collection in New York, United States.Condition: Very good condition with expected wear, signs of prolonged burial and traces of weathering, few small chips, the stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into thin hairline cracks.Weight: 33.6 gDimensions: Width 9.1 cmLiterature comparison: Compare a closely related jade dragon-form pendant exhibited in the Museo d'Arte Orientale, Giade cinesi.
