Schätzwert
€ 3 000
Jade. China, Late Neolithic, Liangzhu culture, c.3300-2200 BC
玉鐲 - 新石器時代晚期, 良渚文化晚期, 約公元前2400-2200年

DIAMETER: 9.4 CM, DIAMETER OF INNER HOLE: 8.1 CM, THICKNESS: 7.1 MM
直徑9.4厘米,內孔直徑8.1厘米,厚7.1厘米

This exquisite Late Neolithic jade bracelet is almost contemporary in form. It is evenly worked and shaped like a thick band of overall equal thickness with a slightly concave outer side. The jade is thoroughly polished, with a slightly rounded edge on the inner side; the circular shape of the ornament is also somewhat irregular, showing that the bracelet was shaped by hand. The mottled yellow and orangey areas and whitish fine lines give a spectacularly interesting effect to the dark green jade.

Literature comparison/Archaeological sites: Bracelets of this shape with a concave outer wall are documented in sites of the Liangzhu culture: a similar one, carved in a similar type of jade, was excavated in 1973 from tomb 198 of the Caoxieshan site (Wu county, Jiangsu province) and is reproduced in Mou Yongkang, Zhongguo yuqi quanji - 1 Yuanshi shehui 中國玉器全集–1:原始社會 (Chinese Jades: Vol.1, Early Societies), Hebei Meishu Chubanshe, Shijiazhuang 1993, no.254.

Winthrop collection in the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Fogg Art Museum (Cambridge, MA) 1975, no.173..
