A VERY RARE TURQUOISE 'WATER BUFFALO' PENDANT, LATE SHANG TO EARLY WESTERN ZHOU DYNASTYPublished: Myrna Myers (ed.) & Filippo Salviati (auth.), The Language of Adornment. Chinese Ornaments of Jade, Crystal, Amber and Glass, Paris, 2002, no. 16.Expert's note: The head of the buffalo in the present example displays characteristics closely associated with Shang period carving, including highly stylized eyes and horns, while the body has been skillfully adapted to the irregular form and surface of the turquoise pebble. The use of turquoise is highly unusual, as jade constituted the preferred material for animal sculpture. During the late Shang period, turquoise was employed primarily as an inlay material in bronze and bone objects, although a small number of carvings executed entirely in turquoise are documented. The reverse of the pendant remains uncarved, indicating that the object was intended to be viewed from a single side. For a more detailed discussion of the development of the water buffalo motif in hardstone from the Shang period onward, see Jessica Rawson, Chinese Jade from the Neolithic to the Qing, 1995, p. 205-208.China, 11th-10th century BC. The thick plaque boldly carved as a recumbent water buffalo, its legs folded beneath the body and the head sharply turned to the right, defined by a pair of tightly curled horns, circular eyes, and a pronounced muzzle. The upper right corner drilled from both sides for suspension. The reverse left plain. The opaque stone of a vivid green hue on the carved surface, enhanced by subtle yellowish accents.Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. According to the Myers ledger, this was acquired on 12 April 2001, and has been in the collection for 25 years.Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age, with surface wear and inherent natural imperfections. Distinct traces of weathering and erosion. Few minor nicks, shallow surface scratches, losses, and occasional small chips, mostly to the reverse.Weight: 83.5 gDimensions: Length 6.9 cmCarvings 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.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely related Auction: Sotheby's London, 4 November 2021, lot 379 Estimate: GBP 25,000 or approx.
