直徑9.4厘米,內孔直徑8.1厘米,厚7.1厘米

This exquisite Late Neolithic jade bracelet is almost contemporary in form. It is evenly worked and shaped like a thick band of overall equal thickness with a slightly concave outer side. The jade is thoroughly polished, with a slightly rounded edge on the inner side; the circular shape of the ornament is also somewhat irregular, showing that the bracelet was shaped by hand. The mottled yellow and orangey areas and whitish fine lines give a spectacularly interesting effect to the dark green jade.

Literature comparison/Archaeological sites: Bracelets of this shape with a concave outer wall are documented in sites of the Liangzhu culture: a similar one, carved in a similar type of jade, was excavated in 1973 from tomb 198 of the Caoxieshan site (Wu county, Jiangsu province) and is reproduced in Mou Yongkang, Zhongguo yuqi quanji - 1 Yuanshi shehui 中國玉器全集–1:原始社會 (Chinese Jades: Vol.1, Early Societies), Hebei Meishu Chubanshe, Shijiazhuang 1993, no.254. See also a bracelet in the Harvard Art Museums, accession number 1943.50.486, published in M. Loehr and L.G. Fitzgerald Huber, Ancient Chinese jades from the Grenville L. Winthrop collection in the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard University, Fogg Art Museum (Cambridge, MA) 1975, no.173..
