PROVENANCE:
The Dizang Studio Collection, Taipei, acquired between 1970 and 1990.
The archaistic design on the present lot appears to be modelled after
earlier jade styles which were popular during the Eastern Zhou and Han
Dynasties. Compare the present lot to a Qianlong period (1736-1795) white
jade archaistic bi disc in the Qing Court collection which is carved with a
network of raised nodes on both sides, illustrated in The Complete Collection
of Treasures of the Palace Museum - Jadeware (III), vol. 42, Hong Kong, 1995,
no. 126, p. 157.
