Description
Chinese Jades from the Cissy and Robert Tang Collection
A calcified jade bead necklace,
Neolithic period, Liangzhu culture or middle Yangzi region, 4th - 3rd millennium BC
喜聞過齋藏玉
新石器時代 良渚或長江中游文化 公元前四千至三千年 玉管項飾
largest bead: h. 2.6 cm
approx. total length: 62 cm
It is worth noting although most of the Liangzhu jade bead necklace are undecorated, one carved bead stands out among the present string of undecorated beads. See a related jade bead necklace, Liangzhu culture, excavated from No. 1 Tomb of Sidun, Wujin county, Jiangsu province, now in the Nanjing Museum, illustrated in Yang Boda, Zhongguo yuqi quanji [Complete collection of Chinese jades], Hebei, 2005, no. 216.
此串玉管項飾,其中一玉管刻有人面紋,相對大部分出土的素面玉管串飾較為少見。參看1978年江蘇省武進縣寺墩1號墓出土良渚文化玉串飾,現藏於南京博物院,見楊柏達,《中國玉器全集》,河北,2005年,圖216。
