THREE JADE FIGURAL PLAQUES

QIN DYNASTY (221-206 BC)

The group comprises a male figural plaque distinguished by a topknot on the head and incised facial features including a moustache and beard, his belt rendered in incised crisscross lines; the other two female figural plaques charactertised by hairless rounded heads, simple incised facial features and a horizontal line representing the belt.



Two very similar jade plaques, also with the male figure represented by a topknot, moustache and beard, and female figure represented by a hairless rounded head, were unearthed at a jade pit at Lianzhi Village in Xi’an, in which a variety of other jade pieces were found together, suggesting their ceremonial function. Dating to the Qin dynasty, these two plaques share strikingly similar style and details with our current lot, suggesting a similar date. They are now in the collection of the Xi’an Museum, included in the National Palace Museum exhibition Reverberations of Qin Heritage: Qin Culture Exhibition, Taipei, 2016, catalogue pl. 75 (fig. 1).

The tallest: 3 1/4 in. (8.2 cm.) high, boxes





Provenance

Lantien Shanfang Collection, acquired in Taipei in 1992
