Item Details
Description
A JADE 'SQUIRREL' PENDANT, NEOLITHIC PERIOD

China, Neolithic period, possibly Hongshan culture, c. 4700-2900 BC. Boldly carved as a small animal with bulging eyes and bulbous tail, holding both hands up toward the mouth, appearing like a squirrel eating fruit. The jade is drilled with several holes for suspension as a pendant. The opaque stone is of a greenish-yellow tone with extensive deep russet veining and shading.

Condition: Good condition with minor wear, a short crack around the center, and nibbling. The stone with natural fissures, some of which may have developed into small hairline cracks.
Provenance: Estate of Wolfgang Zacke (1942-2022), co-founder of Galerie Zacke, thence by descent.

Weight: 60 g
Dimensions: Length 6.2 cm

The pendant is similar in appearance to the pig-dragon (zhulong) pendants and other C-shaped carvings of the Hongshan culture.

Auction comparison:
Compare a related celadon and russet jade pig-dragon carving, Hongshan culture, at Sotheby's Hong Kong in Chinese Art, Including Snuff Bottles and Jades from an old Hong Kong Family Collection on 28 November 2019, lot 728 (sold for HKD 8,815,000), and a related Hongshan jade carving of a larva in the same auction, lot 691 (sold for HKD 325,000).
