KLEINER GLATTER CONG MIT BEWEGTER MASERUNG
Jade
Nord-West-China
Späte neolithische Zeit, Qijia-Kultur, Nord-West-China, ca. 2200-1900 vor
HÖHE 8 CM, OBERER DM. 4,6 x 4,15 CM, UNTERER DM 4,1 x 3,7 CM
玉琮。中國，齊家文化，約公元前2200-1900 年。高 8 厘米, 上部直徑 4.6 x 4.15 厘米，下部直徑 4,1 x 3,7 厘米。維也納私人舊藏。

Diese sehr auffallende kleine glatte Cong ist typisch für die neolithische Kultur von Qijia 齊 家. Bestechend ist hier die Maserung mit ihren wirkungsvollen Kontrasten von einem kühlen Grüngrau bis zu einem tiefen Schwarz. Die Abgrenzung ist unregelmäßig und es sind Adern gegeben. Der annähernd quadratische Cong hat gerade Kanten und verbreitert sich nach oben leicht, an beiden Kopfseiten sind ringförmige Krägen. Dieser Cong ist auffallend dickwandig mit 8 bis 9mm. Die Bohrung zeigt die technischen Schwierigkeiten, die übliche Stufe ist klein, der Kanal weitet sich nach oben hin. Im fokussierten Durchlicht erscheint ein gelbgrüner Farbton, das Schwarz an den Rändern ist rötlich.

Notes by Prof. Salviati: A very similar, miniature cong carved in a dark brown and opaque buff jade, from the collection of R. H. Ellsworth (1929-2014), has been sold at Christie’s New York on 19 March 2015 (Sale 11420), Lot 561: http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot/a-miniature-grey-dark-brown-and-opaque-5876618-details.aspx?from=salesummery&intObjectID=5876618&sid=99a72b8d-24b2-40a7-a133-4f2f8791a87e
