(2)Ceremonial blades carved from jade constitute an important category of objects among Neolithic jade-working cultures. Closely related jade ceremonial blades to the present lot, displaying subtle variations in form and workmanship, have been excavated at a range of Neolithic sites, most notably those associated with the Longshan and Qijia cultures. Some examples later attained truly monumental proportions, such as a knife from Sanxingdui with a damaged length of 162 cm, and an unprovenanced specimen (damaged length 101.9 cm) in the Sonnenschein Collection, Art Institute of Chicago. Several comparably large trapezoidal knives are further distinguished by the presence of grimacing or humanoid imagery, as well as fine serrations, suggesting an increasing degree of ritualization of this form as it spread into the middle Yellow River basin. For an extended discussion of the evolution of these ceremonial jade carvings along the northern bend of the Yellow River, see Jenny F. So, Early Jades in the Harvard Art Museums, 2019, p. 89-90.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related dark green jade ceremonial reaping knife, late Neolithic period, Longshan culture, 38.6 cm long, in the National Palace Museum, Taipei, accession number 000688N000000000.
