小玉珠。中國，東周代，公元前6-5世紀。高4.7厘米。維也納私人舊藏。

Eine besonders sorgfältig gearbeitete Perle in zylindrischer Form, zu einem Ende hin verjüngt. Der Dekor besteht aus eng gereihten Wolkenspiralen, dem “Wirbelmuster” Wowen. Die Kopfflächen sind eben und poliert. Die Farbe grünlich bis schwarzgrün, partiell ist Durchlicht möglich und zeigt gelbgrünen Ton. Aufgrund von Alterung weißlicher Bereich.

Sehr ähnliche Beispiele in “Chinese Archaic Jades fromthe Kwan Collection”, Universität Hongkong, Nr. 163. Ein weiteres Vergleichsstück in “Jades of the Eastern Chou and Wu Ch´uDynasties”, Taiwan 1979, in Nr.167.

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

Notes by Prof. Salviati: During the Eastern Zhou period, beads like this one were strung together with other jades –discs, rings and huang, or arched pendants- to make up elaborate necklaces worn by members of the nobility. The bead has a cone-like profile, with one side shorter than the other. It is rather thick with a hole drilled throughout and carved from a dark-coloured type of jade with blackish areas and a chalky-white, altered strip. The surface is decorated with fat, differently oriented scrolls in low relief which are often used in the decoration of 5th century Eastern Zhou jades, as exemplified by those found in the tomb of the Marquis Yi of the Zeng state, dated after 433 BC. Compare a bead from the collection of R. H. Ellsworth (1929-2014) sold at Christie’s New York on 19 March 2015 (Sale 11420), Lot 578: http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot/a-white-and-pale-brown-jade-bead-5876635-details.aspx?from=salesummery&intObjectID=5876635&sid=a0e97ae1-f64b-4821-ac20-8cbba20fa470 And a similar bead sold at Zacke Galerie in December 2016, JAK1216-024: http://www.zacke.at/en/item/19999/conical-bead
