拍品描述
China, circa 2nd-1st century AD or earlier. Finely carved as a sinuous crouching dragon with its right forelimb extended, the limbs curled tight against the limber form, the head raised and detailed with wide eyes, funnel ears, and mouth gently ajar revealing the teeth within, framed by a scrolling beard. The top of the head, raised hind, and furling tail each fitted with a rectangular aperture. The translucent stone of a pale celadon tone with russet patches and veins, as well as areas of calcification.Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. Acquired between circa 1965-2012.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear. Natural fissures and inclusions, minuscule nibbling, light rubbing, and drill marks to one side of the mouth. The three rectangular apertures show distinct traces of iron oxide and associated corrosion, indicating that iron components were once inserted there and have long since disintegrated.Weight: 316.4 g Dimensions: Length 17.5 cmExpert's Note: In early Chinese ritual and military equipment, jade fittings were often combined with iron elements, particularly from the late Warring States through the Han period. The jade served as the prestigious exterior component, while the iron provided the structural or functional core. When the iron decayed over centuries, it typically left distinct residues: iron oxide staining, granular corrosion products, and roughened contact surfaces within the insertion channels. Such traces are a reliable indicator that iron shafts, pins, or mounts were once secured inside the openings, even though the metal itself has long since corroded away.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Beijing Hanhai Auction, Beijing, 18 December 2006, lot 1930 Price: CNY 1,760,000 or approx. EUR 333,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing : A jade 'dragon and tiger' ornament with four openings, Warring States period Expert remark: Compare the closely related form. Note the size (20 cm) and thickness with perforated apertures.
