拍品描述
China, 960-1279. Magnificently carved, the elongated body of the animal with neatly incised curls and finely modeled wings folded against its sides, extending to a tail gently tapering downward. The head held upright, marked by a pair of prominent bulging eyes, a small, curved beak, and masterfully carved strands of hair. The underside with a large, oval aperture with a raised rim, designed for attachment to a staff. The semi-translucent stone of a pale celadon tone, interspersed with icy white, pale yellow, and brownish inclusions and veining.Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. According to the Myers ledger acquired on 18 December 1977 in Amsterdam and in the collection for 49 years.Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and natural age-related imperfections. Light traces of weathering and signs of usage. Few minute nicks and shallow surface scratches. Weight: 151.7 gDimensions: Length 8.4 cmThe present Song dynasty bird-shaped staff finial perpetuates a tradition established during the Han dynasty, wherein analogous carvings were conferred as marks of respect and prestige upon men who had attained notable achievements or reached the age of seventy, thereafter receiving heightened veneration. Fan Yeh, in History of the Later Han Dynasty, observes that birds, particularly doves, were selected as emblems on account of their capacity to digest all sustenance with ease, a metaphorical reflection of the expected adaptability and virtue of the recipient. Han dynasty prototypes were predominantly rendered in silvered bronze.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related russet jade carving of a swan, Song to Yuan dynasty, 12th-14th century, 7.9 cm long, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 2015.500.5.4.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Sotheby's New York, 23 March 2022, lot 228Price: USD 15,120 or approx.
