GÜRTELSCHLIESSE MIT DRACHENDEKORIN LEICHTEM RELIEF Katalognummer: CA0418-116 Jade China späte Ming bis frühe Qing Dynastie LÄNGE 長 10 CM, BREITE 寬2,6 CM 雲中翔龍紋劍璏 This exquisite scabbard slide is quite sculptural, with a general rounded shape and a carved design of a dragon in high relief as seen from above, emerging from amidst the clouds. The head of the dragon is decorated with bumps that describe the snout and eyes, and carved lines for the eyebrows and shape of the head. Parallel carved lines run along its back, accentuating the curve of the body, and other carved curls represent the limbs, tail and curves of the clouds. The jade is covered with mottled areas of light and dark brown, and black spots, especially in the central part on top, which have rendered the originally translucent light green jade opaque in those areas. The underside is covered with many scattered white patches and some black spots that are particularly noticeable in the cut-out area where the scabbard would have passed. Compare a similar scabbard slide of the Ming period carved with a dragon amidst clouds in a jade with analogous russet markings and auctioned at Christie’s New York, 22-23 march 2012, sale 2553, Lot 1873 Startpreis 起始價: € 2.500 Schätzpreis 估計/估算: € 5.000 Expertise: Alle Jaden in diesem Katalog wurden expertisiert und datiert vonUniv.
