Lot 266 | Sehr seltene kalzifizierte Jadefigur eines sitzenden Mannes
Valeur estimée
€ 40 000 – 60 000
A VERY RARE CALCIFIED JADE FIGURE OF A SEATED MAN - China, Han dynasty - The knees folded with both hands resting on them, the face very well carved with a smiling contented expression, the large ears and the crisp outline of this hat clearly defined, dressed in long robes tucked into a belt at the waist, the stone with extensive encrustation all over. - Important Franconian private collection, bought by the present owner at Christie´s, 6.6.1988, lot 35 Human figures occur very rarely in Han jades. The current lot is in particular, extremely rare for the figure's cross-legged posture. Related seated jade figures from the Han dynasty include: a jade seated figure, dated mid-Western Han dynasty, excavated from tomb no.1 in Lingshan, Mancheng County, Hebei Province, currently in the Hebei Provincial Centre of Cultural Relics Protection, illustrated by Gu Fang, The Pictorial Handbook of Ancient Chinese Jades, Beijing, 2007, p.247; another jade seated figure, dated late Western Han dynasty, in the Aurora Museum, Taipei, illustrated by Tsai Ching-Liang, Jades of Han Dynasty, Taipei, 2005, pl.118; and a jade figure of a seated old man, dated Eastern Han dynasty, illustrated by R.Keverne, Jade, London, 1991, p.123, pl.28. For a white jade example of a man also seated in similar posture, see Zhongguo Meishu Quanji, vol. 9, no. 165 - this was excavated from Hebei and has been dated to the early Western Han; another even more unusual example is an equestrian figure, riding a typical Han horse of strong and stylised proportions, op. cit., no. 173, excavated from Shaanxi. The present lot is very different in style and conceptions to the above examples and is comparable to a group of grey pottery figures from Sichuan Province with exaggerated facial proportions, but highly expressive, cf. Zhongguo Meishu Quanji, vol. 2, nos. 99-101; there is a secondary style in Sichuan with greater facial detail, op. cit., nos. 108 and 109; both drummers have large heavy limbs, fleshy faces and large hands; two other examples may possibly belong to an earlier period in Sichuan, cf. Chugoku Toji Zenshu, vol. 3, nos. 84 and 86. There is therefore a degree of likelihood that the jade figure above may hail from further south-west of the metropolitan area; for a comparable bronze example, see Deydier, C., Chinese Bronzes, pl. 78, from the Musée Royaux d’Art et d’Histoire, Brussels - this is the closest comparable example among human figure types; a seated inlaid bronze figure of a shaman from the Hosokawa Collection is illustrated in Archives of the Chinese Art Society of America, XIV, 1960 in the Arts of the Han Dynasty Exhibition, Asia House, 1960, Catalogue, no. 61
