拍品描述 翻译
A SUPERB CELADON AND RUSSET JADE FIGURE OF A MYTHICAL TIGER, SHANG DYNASTYChina, circa 1600-1046 BC. The two-horned feline beast exquisitely carved crouching on all fours and ready to pounce, the mouth wide open in a ferocious roar revealing shark fangs, its long tapering tail curling upward and forming a hole for suspension. The muscular contours of the horned beast are superbly modeled with rounded outlines and richly worked overall with double-line scrollwork.The translucent stone is of a richly variegated white to pale green hue accentuated with pale brown patches, dark russet veins, and areas of opaque cream-white calcification.Provenance: The private collection of Jules Speelman, London, United Kingdom. Jules Speelman is a world-leading dealer and collector of East Asian art with 60 years of experience. In 1964 he joined his late father, Alfred, in the family business which already stretched back three generations to 19th century Holland and expanded into England around the turn of the century. Originally, A & J Speelman dealt with antiques, from European ceramics, silver, tapestries, and furniture to Chinese porcelain, and works of art. With his father, Jules gradually shifted the focus towards Asia and under Jules Speelman's skilled direction, A & J Speelman is now considered amongst the foremost dealers in Asian antiques, with a particular emphasis on figurative sculpture and works of art from the past 2000 years. Condition: Very good condition with minor nibbling. The stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into thin hairline cracks. Weight: 41 g Dimensions: Length 7.2 cmThe zoomorphic design of the present piece is characteristic of Shang dynasty jade carving. It is notable that while certain features on the tiger are rendered with a degree of realism, such as the eyes and ears, other elements are more abstractly represented, such as the use of square scrolls to highlight the stripes on the body, and the inclusion of short horns. The perforations at the mouth and tail suggest that the piece was likely suspended and worn as a pendant. Jade figures of this type appear to derive from contemporary depictions of tigers on bronzes from southern China, as discussed by Jessica Rawson in Chinese Jade from the Neolithic to the Qing, London, 1995, p. 206, where she illustrates a line drawing of a bronze tiger with one of a jade example from the tomb of Fu Hao, fig. 3.Similar jade carvings were excavated from the Tomb of Fu Hao, a consort of King Wu Ding (1324-1265 BC), and illustrated in the Tomb of Lady Hao at Yinxu in Anyang (Yinxu Fuhao mu), Beijing, 1980, pl. CXXXV, pls. 1 and 2, together with a malachite tiger, pl. CLXXV, no. 4, and one carved from bone, pl. CLXXXIII, no. 3.The Tomb of Fu Hao is an important archaeological site located at Yinxu, the ruins of the ancient Shang dynasty capital Yin, within modern-day Anyang in Henan Province, China. Discovered in 1976 by archaeologist Zheng Zhenxiang, the tomb was identified as the final resting place of Queen and military general Fu Hao, who died around 1200 BC. Fu Hao is believed to be the Lady Hao mentioned in oracle bone inscriptions by King Wu Ding and one of his many wives. The tomb contained an extraordinary array of artifacts, including 755 jade objects, which encompassed both contemporary Shang jades and older pieces from the Longshan, Liangzhu, Hongshan, and Shijiahe cultures. Notably, the Tomb of Fu Hao is the only Shang royal tomb discovered intact, with its contents undisturbed, likely due to its remote location, far from other known burial sites. This pristine condition has provided invaluable insights into Shang dynasty culture and the significance of jade in their ritual practices.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related jade tiger from the Tomb of Fu Hao, illustrated in Zhongguo meishu quanji, Diaosu bian, v. 1 (Beijing: renmin meishu chubanshe, 1988), p. 51. Compare a related jade pendant in the form of a tiger with similar pose and tail, dated late Shang dynasty, Anyang period, 5.7 cm long, in the National Museum of Asian Art, Smithsonian Institution, accession number S1987.553.Auction result comparison:Type: Closely relatedAuction: Sotheby's Hong Kong, 2 April 2019, lot 3443Price: HKD 350,000 or approx.
