西周青玉鳥形珮
Sold for €9,100
including Buyer's Premium
China, c. 1100-771 BC. The pendant is finely carved as a stylized mythical bird of flattened arched form and decorated with fine incision work, pierced below the beak with an aperture for suspension. The translucent stone is of a fine celadon tone with cloudy inclusions, pale brown patches, and few small areas of alteration.
Provenance: From a distinguished English private collection.
Condition: Good condition with minor old wear, a small loss to the tip of the beak, some traces of use and shallow surface scratches overall, microscopic nicks here and there. Fine, naturally grown patina. The jade with natural inclusions and fissures.
Weight: 11.2 g
Dimensions: Length 7.1 cm
With a fine lacquered wood storage and presentation box. (2)
Literature comparison:
Compare a related jade bird-shaped pendant in the collection of the British Museum, museum number 1947,0712.465.

Type: Closely related
Auction: Christie’s Hong Kong, 28 November 2018, lot 2739
Price: HKD 275,000 or approx. EUR 40,500 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing
Description: A celadon jade bird-shaped pendant, Western Zhou dynasty (c. 1100-771 BC)
Expert remark: Compare the closely related subject, form, and decoration. Note that the condition report for this lot states that “there is a break to the bird’s head which has been reattached with associated areas of infill”. This appears to be very similar to the small loss at the tip of the beak of the present lot (see condition report).
