拍品描述
Jade. China, Han Dynasty, 3rd-2nd century BC This jade fitting was likely used as a pommel to decorate the top handle of a sword. Weapon fittings in jade developed during the Eastern Zhou period and reached their climax under the following Han dynasty, when entire sets made of several jades were used to embellish the swords of the aristocrats. This fitting has an oval profile and the top is decorated with two dragons carved in relief. One of the dragons, with a long protruding crest, seems as coming out of the stone: the long and sinuous body of the other dragon rests on top of the ornament while the tail disappears into the jade. Additional scroll and cloud-like patterns carved in low relief along the perimeter of the fitting complement the ornamentation of this top section of the jade. The flat, bottom part of the object has an oval slot in its centre where the top of the sword handle was inserted. A plain, narrow band running along the entire contour of the fitting encircles the decorative motifs carved in slight relief on the surface of the jade. Here, the main motif is a stylized bird represented in profile: from the head of the bird protrude two long crests whose linear, geometric shape echoes the other decorative motifs carved on the rest of the surface. The highly polished jade is of a light, translucent green colour with subtle shades of brown that are mostly concentrated on the dragons in the top section.
