Kosec (born 1956) is an American medical professional entrepreneur, philanthropist, and devoted collector whose life has been shaped by decades of travel, service to others, and enduring friendships formed in China, Indonesia, and England. Over 18 years, she assembled a deeply personal collection of Buddhist art and Chinese jades, which she views not as possessions but as living companions.Condition: Very good condition with expected wear, signs of prolonged burial, traces of weathering and erosion with associated small losses, the stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into small hairlines.Weight: 784 g (excl. stand), 1,214 g (incl. stand)Dimensions: Length 20.4 cmWith a modern metal stand. (2)While collectively termed 'axe' in English, jade axes have variations of translations in Chinese. Ceremonial jades of a trapezoidal form with a straight or curved edge would be named 'yue', produced for a long duration of time from the Neolithic period to the Zhou dynasty. As a ceremonial weapon, jade 'yue' symbolized power in ancient Chinese culture, it was attached to a wood pole to be carried by officials as an emblem of authority.Literature comparison: Compare a related green jade axe, dated to the Neolithic period, 15.5 cm high, in the British Museum, registration number 1937,0416.16.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's New York, 19 March 2015, lot 536 Price: USD 40,000 or approx.
