拍品描述
PERIODChina, c. 475-221 BC. Of typical form, the beveled, double-edged blade with a central ridge, decorated with a finely carved taotie mask in high relief. The curved notch and rectangular shaft pierced with oval and teardrop-shaped apertures. The semitranslucent stone of a dark green tone with black clouds and inclusions as well as distinct russet veining.Expert's note: The present axe head is exceptionally rare and noteworthy for following bronze 'ge' prototypes more closely than most other known examples in public or private collections. Its dark green and black jade recalls the greenish hue of the typical patina with malachite encrustations found on bronzes from the period.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, including small fissures, some of which have developed into hairline cracks. Light traces of weathering. Occasional minute nicks and shallow surface scratches. One minuscule chip to the tip of the blade and minor nibbling along the edges. Weight: 437.5 gDimensions: Height 28.5 cmWeaponry played a significant role in the material culture of the Eastern Zhou dynasty, reflecting general turmoil and warfare among competing states. The dagger-axe, or ge, a type of pole weapon mounted by its tang to a wooden shaft, served as the primary weapon of the Chinese Bronze Age. Originating in the Shang dynasty, it evolved during the Zhou dynasty into a form with a dagger blade and a spearhead at the top of the shaft. This combination allowed the wielder to employ both thrusting and swinging techniques, increasing the versatility of the weapon. Bronze 'ge' blades provided the model for the form and decoration of jade counterparts, as exemplified by the present piece.Literature comparison:Compare a related bronze dagger-axe (ge), late Zhou dynasty, 1046-256 BC, 14.6 cm long, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 21.144.
