China, c. 13th-11th century BC. Finely carved, the recumbent animal with its legs tucked beneath its plump body, decorated in high relief with distinctive scrolling motifs. Its slightly raised head defined by a pair of drop-shaped eyes, a gaping mouth, and curved horns joined together. The back of the bovid pierced for suspension with a vertical aperture running through the figure to the abdomen. The smoothly polished, semi-translucent stone of a deep celadon tone, with icy-white inclusions, russet mottling, and a distinctive creamy-white calcified area on the rear of the animal.Provenance: From The Sam and Myrna Myers Collection, Paris, France. According to the Myers ledger acquired on December 30, 1993, and in the collection for the past 33 years.Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age, with ancient wear and inherent natural imperfections. Distinct traces of weathering and erosion. Scattered small nicks and light surface scratches. The stone surface, partially altered, with some areas of soil encrustation and ritual red pigment.Weight: 62.2 gDimensions: Length 5.4 cmWater buffalo have long been highly esteemed in China. The Asiatic ox is one of the twelve horary animals associated with 'chou', the second of the twelve branches in the Chinese calendrical system. In Chinese culture, buffaloes symbolize strength, prosperity, and serenity, reflecting their central role in agriculture and food production. Moreover, the idealized image of the buffalo resonated with both Chan Buddhist and Daoist thought, evoking a retreat into a peaceful rural existence, removed from the bustle of urban life and the obligations of officialdom.Carvings of water buffalo in hardstone first appear during the later phase of the Shang period. The most significant early examples were recovered from the tomb of Fu Hao at Anyang, a burial that also yielded a large buffalo sculpture in marble. These early works established formal and iconographic prototypes for later representations of recumbent buffalo in jade, a subject that achieved sustained popularity during the Song, Ming, and Qing periods. With the passage of time, the use of this motif for pendants gradually declined, giving way to fully three-dimensional carvings conceived as small, portable objects intended to be held in the hand. This shift is particularly characteristic of the Song period. During the Ming and Qing periods, larger scale representations of water buffalo were produced as autonomous works of art intended for display.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related jade carving of a water buffalo, Shang dynasty, 13th-11th century BC, 6.5 cm long, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 1976.297.2.Auction result comparison:Type: Related Auction: Christie's Hong Kong, 30 November 2020, lot 2731Price: HKD 525,000 or approx.
