Jade. China, Eastern Zhou Dynasty, 4th cent. BC
A jade type similar to No. 127, although this dragon assumes a different posture and is even more exalted in its movement. Here, too, the horn and snout are widely flared, on both sides are finely engraved lines as well as more powerful cloud spirals. This archaic dragon kuilong has only one leg. The tail end as well as an appendage are crafted in the same shape and resemble hooves. Also here on one side is a step in leveled edge, also precise and harmonious in composition. One little conical drilled eyelet. Rather dark green-grey jade, showing light-green in translucence. 龙形玉佩 – 东周, 公元前4世纪 长 15 厘米; 最宽7,1 厘米
LENGTH 15,6 CM, WIDTH 7,3 CM
From an Austrian-Hungarian collection
