拍品描述
PERIOD, LIANGZHU CULTUREChina, c. 3300-2250. Of circular form, with a central aperture drilled from both sides to form an encircling ridge. The opaque stone of a spinach-green and russet color, with dark mottling and scattered, cloud-like areas of creamy-white calcification.Expert's note: The stone shows natural internal “clouding” caused by variations in crystallization and long-term mineral alteration within the jade. These mist-like inclusions run through the body, not the surface, as seen in the central aperture and they confirm that the feature is inherent to the material. Such characteristics develop slowly and reflect the stone's geological history.Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. Acquired between circa 1965-2012.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and natural age-related imperfections, such as small fissures and inclusions. Occasional minute nicks and faint surface scratches. Minor nibbling along the edges. Weight: 1,836 gDimensions: Diameter 20.2 cm, Depth 1.6 cmJade 'bi' disks are a type of jade which continued to be crafted in numbers by cultures located in central and northwest China during the transitional period between the Neolithic and Bronze Age. Most of these discs range in size between ten and twenty centimeters. The considerable size and weight of the present example, due to its substantial thickness, requires both hands to hold it comfortably, indicates that it was displayed and employed within a ritual context. Its surfaces were thoroughly polished, except for the central aperture, which was drilled from both sides of the jade with bamboo segments and sand abrasives. The ridge at the midpoint marks the place where the two drilled channels meet.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related spinach green and russet jade disk (bi), late Neolithic period, Liangzhu culture, c. 3300-2250, 31.8 cm diameter, in the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art, accession number F1917.79.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Christie's New York, 19 March 2015, lot 487Price: USD 40,000 or approx.
