Since then, a wave of new archaeological findings has dramatically transformed our understanding of this late Neolithic civilization. At the Mojiaoshan site, Chinese archaeologists have uncovered the remains of a vast, walled settlement covering 750 acres. This site, the largest known walled settlement from late Neolithic China, includes palatial foundations, jade workshops, habitation zones, and a sophisticated network of internal waterways.Distinguished by their quantity, variety, and superb craftsmanship, Liangzhu jades are among the most iconic artifacts in the history of Chinese civilization. Among them, the jade cong stands out as the most emblematic. These objects feature a square exterior surrounding a circular inner hollow, with each corner serving as a vertical axis for the carving of symmetrical mask motifs. Early examples are typically squat and intricately decorated with deities or animal forms. In contrast, later versions are tall and slender, with stylized facial features dominated by prominent eyes and noses.The present cong is incised with four horizontal tiers featuring sixteen 'crowned divine figure' motifs. Two parallel lines above each figure signify the crown, while short horizontal ridges depict the nose. The eyes consist of double circles connected by short lines, with two short extensions on either side to mark the corners of the eyes.Expert's note: Of particular interest are in the present lot the subtly irregular concentric ridges on the interior, which bear witness to the manner and sequential stages in which the jade cong was perforated from both ends. The residual traces of the labor-intensive carving process remain discernible on the inner walls, whose slightly roughened surface and pale tonality stand in deliberate contrast to the flawlessly polished exterior, thereby underscoring both the painstaking labor and the technical proficiency of those responsible for the realization of this magnificent artifact.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related four-tiered jade cong, Neolithic period, Liangzhu culture, Lake Tai region, c. 3300-2250 BC, 10.5 cm high, in the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art, accession number F1968.36.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Bonhams Hong Kong, 28 November 2017, lot 1Price: HKD 4,660,000 or approx.?EUR 591,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing: A rare grey and green jade ritual vessel, cong, Neolithic period, Liangzhu cultureExpert remark: Compare the closely related manner of carving, decorative motifs, and similarly calcified stone.
