Lot 260 | Zwei Anhänger in Tigerform aus Jade
TWO CARVED JADE TIGER PENDANTS - China, probably later eastern Zhou dynasty - Dark brown to honey colored, translucent jade with calcified areas. The pendants, which obviously belong together, may have been placed on top of each other in the ground, their calcifications are almost mirror images of each other. The head with pre-swelling eye and wide-open mouth, from which pointed fangs protrude, merges in an elegant sweep into the slender body, which ends in a pointed tail. Only two stylized legs are visible in the side view. Two wood stands. - Important Austrian private collection, acquired in the 1980s in the art trade in Hong Kong Publ. Zeileis, "Selected Chinese Jades from Seven Millennia," 1994, no. 203, p. 247 Cf. Alfred F. Pillsbury Collection at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, cat. No.134 - 136 Very minor traces of age
