GEDREHTER ANHÄNGER MIT ZWEI DRACHENKÖPFEN
Jade
China
Östliche Zhou, 4. - 3. Jahrhundert Vor
BREITE 11,2 CM, STÄRKE BIS 8 MM
雙龍紋玉環。中國，東周代，戰國時期，公元前4－3世紀。寬11.2厘米，厚到0.8厘米。維也納私人舊藏。

Bogiger Anhänger Huang, genau ein Drittelkreis. Der Körper des doppelköpfigen Drachen ist gerippt, der Verlauf der Rillen ist jedoch nicht gerade sondern schräg und jede vorderseitig beginnende endet auf der Gegenseite. Die Köpfe der Drachen haben hochgedrehte Nasen, die Ösen bilden. Die Mäuler sind geschlossen, die Augen groß und aufmerksam, die Mähnen bilden C mit eingedrehten Enden. Die Jadefarbe ist ein lichtes Grün, ziemlich genau eine Hälfte dieses Huang ist von der Alterung weitgehend unberührt, die andere aber stark betroffen und hat eine deckend weiße Farbe mit rötlicher Oberfläche, vermutlich hat der Huang in diesem Bereich in der Lößerde gesteckt. Gute Erhaltenheit mit eben den Altersmerkmalen auf einer Seite.

In der Publikation “Radiant Stone” von Filippo Salviati in Nr. 113 ein im Stil verwandtes Stück, ein Anhänger mit nur einem Drachenkopf, der Körper ist gleichfalls gerippt, die Jade etwas kleiner, gleiche Zeit.

Notes by Prof. Salviati: This ornament is carved in the shape of a huang, or arc-shaped pendant, with dragon heads at the extremities. The body is thick and slightly rounded and two holes for suspension are drilled in the nose of each animal head. The central portion of the pendant is engraved with the so-called ‘twisted rope’ pattern, made of parallel, slightly twisted grooves separated by thin ridges. The heads are minutely detailed and distinguished from the body by a long crest that is marked with parallel incisions, like the body. Half of the jade is completely altered while the rest is semi-translucent and pale green in colour. The majority of Eastern Zhou dragon-shaped jades that display the ‘twisted rope’ pattern have long, undulating bodies with a head at one extremity and a pointed tail at the other. Examples include one in the British Museum, published in J. Ayers and J. Rawson, Chinese Jades throughout the Ages, Victoria & Albert Museum, London 1975, no.127, and another in the National Museum of History, Taiwan (acc. no.89-00051), reproduced 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.39. For a jade carved with two dragon heads at the extremities, see a long ‘hook’ in the Harvard Art Museums, acc. no.1943.50.453, published in Max Loehr and Louisa G. Fitzgerald Huber, Ancient Chinese Jades from the Grenville L. Winthrop Collection in the FoGelbgold Art Museum, Harvard University, FoGelbgold Art Museum (Cambridge, MA) 1975, no.494: http://www.harvardartmuseums.org/collections/object/204774?position=0.
