拍品描述
A RARE PALE GREEN JADE 'PARROT' PENDANT, LATE SHANG DYNASTYChina, c. 1300-1050 BC. Finely carved as a crested bird shown in profile, richly incised on both sides with double-line grooves delineating features including the circular eyes and folded wings, the animal further detailed with a hooked beak and long curved tail. Pierced at the top with a small aperture for suspension. The smoothly polished, semi-translucent stone of varying shades of pale green with blueish and icy-white inclusions tone and some areas of opaque calcification.Provenance: From The Sam and Myrna Myers Collection, Paris, France. Acquired between circa 1965-2012.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age, with expected wear and inherent natural imperfections. Distinct traces of weathering and erosion. Possible losses to the tail of the bird. Occasional minute nicks and faint surface scratches. The stone surface with visible areas of soil encrustation, consistent with prolonged burial.Weight: 10.4 gDimensions: Length 4.3 cmOrnaments of this form are typical of the period of Fu Hao and several have been excavated from her tomb, illustrated for example in Yinxu Yuqi (The Jades from Yinxu), 1982, pl. 44, 47, 50, and 58. Two with relatively small crests resemble the present bird quite closely. However, even more interesting are birds with large crests from the tomb of Fu Hao. These crests are exactly like those on pendants in the form of kneeling humanoid figures found in the same tomb. Indeed, birds seem to be a Shang variation of the human figures which were probably 'foreign' in the sense that the motif was imported from outside the Shang area. See also Jessica Rawson, Chinese Jade from the Neolithic to the Qing, 1995, p. 218.The Tomb of Fu Hao?is an important archaeological site located at Yinxu, the ruins of the ancient Shang dynasty capital Yin, within modern-day Anyang in Henan Province, China. Discovered in 1976 by archaeologist Zheng Zhenxiang, the tomb was identified as the final resting place of Queen and military general Fu Hao, who died around 1200 BC. Fu Hao is believed to be the Lady Hao mentioned in oracle bone inscriptions by King Wu Ding and one of his many wives. The tomb contained an extraordinary array of artifacts, including 755 jade objects, which encompassed both contemporary Shang jades and older pieces from the Longshan, Liangzhu, Hongshan, and Shijiahe cultures. Notably,?the Tomb of Fu Hao is the only Shang royal tomb discovered intact, with its contents undisturbed, likely due to its remote location, far from other known burial sites. This pristine condition has provided invaluable insights into Shang dynasty culture and the significance of jade in their ritual practices.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related jade bird-form pendant or terminal fitting, 7 cm high, Shang dynasty, c. 15th-10th century BC, 2.8 cm long, in the British Museum, registration number 2022,3034.109.
