Lot 486 | Jade Bi Disc mit Chi Long-Drachen
China, Han-Dynastie, 206 v. Chr. bis 220 n. Chr., Harte Jade/Nephrite, diese Bi-Scheibe ist ein außergewöhnliches Beispiel für die skulpturale Qualität der Han-Dynastie, sie wurde als Ritualinsignie verwendet und verkörperte den Himmel, die Oberfläche dieser hellgrün-beigen Jade wurde fein auf Hochglanz poliert, die Oberseite zeigt im aufwendigen Hochrelief neun gebogene Chi Long oder ”hornlose Drachen”, ihre länglichen Körper treten weit hervor und umrahmen die zentrale Aussparung, in sehr feinen, präzisen Linien graviert, die Unterseite ist zur Hälfe mit gleichmäßig hervortretenden Spiralwirbeln in einem Hexagonalmuster verziert, mittig ein fein gearbeitetes, umschließendes Kordelband, das von vier wilden Himmelswesen beschützt wird, die im chinesischen als Taotie bezeichnet werden, die Jade war ursprünglich wohl hellgrün/seladon, hat sich jedoch durch Bodensäuren in weiß/bräunlich verfärbt, darüber liegen schwarz-rötliche Verkrustungen, besonders an den Schleifkanten und Vertiefungen, was auf Erdlagerung in Flößboden schließen lässt, Durchmesser 11,2 cm. Provenienz: Aus einer alten preußisch/sächsischen Privatsammlung.
