Expert authentication:1. Dr. Gu Fang has examined the present lot and guarantees its authenticity and the dating above. He assessed it as a piece of good quality, and noted it was “[r]eworked from a Qijia disc”. A copy of Dr. Gu's signed expertise, dated 24 August 2008, accompanies this lot. Dr. Gu Fang (born 1962) is an internationally renowned scholar of Chinese art and a leading authority on jades. He graduated from the Department of Archaeology at the prestigious Beijing University in 1986 and later studied at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS), where he now serves as a Senior Fellow specializing in archaeological excavations and Chinese jade research. A former visiting scholar at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, he has authored several books on Chinese jades, including the 15-volume The Complete Collection of Jades Unearthed in China (2007), one of the most comprehensive studies of its kind, as well as Chinese Jade: The Spiritual and Cultural Significance of Jade in China (2012).2. Sam Myers has examined the present lot in 2017 and confirmed its authenticity and the dating above. He appraised it at a value of USD 45,000 (or approx. EUR 50,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing). A copy of the valuation from Myrna Myers Arts d'Extrême Orient, Paris, written and signed by Sam Myers, dated 5 May 2017, accompanies this lot. Sam Myers is a scholar and expert of Chinese jades and works of art with over 50 years of experience. In 1976, his wife Myrna Myers opened a gallery in Paris specializing in Asian art, and together the couple built an extraordinary art collection, including one of the world's most distinguished jade collections, published in numerous catalogs and seen around the world in a number of important museum exhibitions.Expert's note: The concentric grooves carved on this disk are typical of Shang dynasty workmanship, while the large size and small central aperture indicate it was originally made during the Qijia culture (circa 2400-1600 BC), as written by Dr. Gu Fang's in his certificate for the present lot. Such later modification shows that the current disk retained significance long after its original creation, having been adapted to conform to Shang aesthetic and symbolic preferences, and thus offering rare evidence of the continued veneration and reuse of earlier Neolithic jade in subsequent ritual traditions.China, c. 1600-1046 BC. Of circular form with finely carved concentric circles and a central aperture encircled by a short narrow collar. The mostly translucent stone of mottled yellow and white hue with brown specks, veins, and inclusions.Provenance: Throckmorton Fine Art, New York, United States, by 2008.
