拍品描述
A BROWN AND WHITE JADE 'PIG DRAGON' PENDANT, ZHULONG, LATE SHANG DYNASTYChina, Henan province, Anyang. Finely carved as the coiled mythical animal, pierced at the center, the face reminiscent of a pig with large snout and pricked ears, rectangular eyes above the ribbed nose, and shown with the feet and bifurcated tail drawn to the body. The stone is of a slightly greenish white color with brown and pale gray patches as well as dark specks.Provenance: The private collection of Jules Speelman, London, United Kingdom. Jules Speelman is a world-leading dealer and collector of East Asian art with 60 years of experience. In 1964 he joined his late father, Alfred, in the family business which already stretched back three generations to 19th century Holland and expanded into England around the turn of the century. Originally, A & J Speelman dealt with antiques, from European ceramics, silver, tapestries, and furniture to Chinese porcelain, and works of art. With his father, Jules gradually shifted the focus towards Asia and under Jules Speelman's skilled direction, A & J Speelman is now considered amongst the foremost dealers in Asian antiques, with a particular emphasis on figurative sculpture and works of art from the past 2000 years. Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and few tiny nibbles. The stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into thin hairline cracks. Weight: 36.1 g Dimensions: Height 4.1 cmPig dragons, or zhulong, are zoomorphic forms with a pig-like head and an elongated limbless body coiled around to the head. They were first produced by the Hongshan culture. Along with the same culture's jade eagles, they often featured as grave goods. Pig bones have been found interred alongside humans at Hongshan burial sites, suggesting that the animal had some ritual significance.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related jade pig dragon pendant, dated late Shang dynasty, excavated in 1977 from Tomb No. 701 South, Xiaomin Village, Anyang City, Henan Province, and housed in the Institute of Archaeology, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (Zhongguo Shehui Kexueyuan Kaogu Yanjiusuo Guicang).
