GLATTER ARMREIF ODER ZIERSTÜCK
Jade
China
Neolithikum, vermutlich Liangzhu, ca. 3300-2200 vor
DM. 5,8 CM, HÖHE 3,3 CM
玉鐲。中國，新石器時代晚期至商代，公元前1600 年以後。直徑5.8 厘米，高 3.3 厘米。維也納私人舊藏。

Ein erstaunlich ebenmäßig und präzise gearbeitetes Stück, das die Form eines Armreifs hat, aufgrund des geringen Durchmessers jedoch eher eine mehr ornamentale Jade gewesen sein dürfte. Die konkave Wölbung rundum ist völlig symmetrisch geschliffen, die innere Wölbung verläuft genau parallel dazu. Beide Endflächen sind eben. Die Farbe dieser Jade ist ein sehr schönes lichtes, leicht milchiges Grün, ein kleineres Feld aufgrund von Eisengehalt rotbraun. Gute Transluzenz, im Durchlicht mehr gelbgrün, die Erhaltung – wie auch die sorgfältigst gearbeitete Politur – sind sehr gut.

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: This very fine cylindrical ornament is cut in a very simple though elegant shape from a good quality of green jade with only a large brown spot on one edge. It has a flared, concave profile which is often seen on jade bracelets discovered in sites of the Liangzhu culture. However, the small diameter of the central perforation suGelbgoldests that this jade was probably used as a type of hair ornament. A similar item (5.9x3.3 cm) in white jade with russet and brown areas is in the National Museum of History, Taiwan (acc. no.7068) and 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.14. Two more comparable examples measuring about 7 cm in width and 3.5 in height have been discovered in 1977 in tomb no.4 of the Liangzhu culture cemetery at Zhanglingshan, Wu county, Jiangsu province: they are reproduced in Zhejiang institute of cultural relics and archaeology, Liangzhu wenhua yuqi 良渚文化玉器 (Jades of the Liangzhu Culture), Wenwu chubanshe, Beijing 1990, pls.104 and 105.
