EIN SEHR FEIN GEARBEITETER RING YUAN
Jade
Nord-West-China
Späte neolithische Zeit, Qijia-Kultur, Nord-West-China, ca. 2200-1900 vor
DM. 11,7 CM, INNERER 6,8 CM, STÄRKE 6 MM
玉瑗。中國，齊家文化，約公元前2200-1900 年。外直徑 11.7 厘米，內直徑 6.8 厘米，厚0.6 厘米 。維也納私人舊藏。

Ähnlich einer Bi-Scheibe, jedoch mit großer Innenöffnung, sodass ein Yuan vorliegt. Beide Seiten sind eben, der Farbton ist ein leicht grüngraues Weiß mit einem bräunlichen, wolkigen Bereich sowie verstreuten, mehr punktuellen weißen Flecken. Die gesamte Oberfl äche ist beidseitig mit großer Genauigkeit ausgeführt, die Politur hat sich - bedenkt man das Alter - erstaunlich gut erhalten. Die klare Einfachheit der Form, das Lichte und die gute Transluzenz lassen den grundlegend kosmischen Aspekt dieses Yuan in beeindruckender Weise erkennen.

Diese Jade wird in dem Buch von FILIPPO SALVIATI: THE MYSTERIOUS STONE: Chinese Jades from the Neolithic to the Han from private collections publiziert (Erscheinungstermin Frühjahr 2017).

Notes by Prof. Salviati: A very similar ring in translucent light green jade with brown markings from the Sonnenschein collection was published in 1976 in the Eskenazi catalogue, Chinese Jades from a Private Collection, cat. no.4, diameter 10.8 cm, hole 5.9 cm. Another comparable ring (13.8 cm) with a smaller hole and in a similar stone is in the National Museum of History, Taiwan, no.89-00040, published in John Johnston and Chan Lai Pik, 5,000 Years of Chinese Jade, Featuring Selections from the National Museum of History, Taiwan, and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Smithsonian Institution, San Antonio Museum of Art, 2011, no.13.
