LITERATURE

Ancient Jade from the Yangde Tang Collection, Taipei, 1993, pl. 4
Teng Shu-p’ing, Collectors’ Exhibition of Archaic Chinese Jades,
Taipei, 1995, pl. 33

The present ornament displays an elegant combination of two
zoomorphic elements, depicting a phoenix perched on top of a
coiling dragon, the contours rendered in double-line grooves, a style
characteristic of the Western Zhou period. A very similar example
depicting the same motif but of slightly different shape, is in the
National Palace Museum Collection (acquisition no. gouyu 611),
illustrated in Art in Quest of Heaven and Truth- Chinese Jades through
the Ages, Taipei, 2012, pl. 5-4-6. Another example depicting similar
motifs was excavated in Rujiazhuang, its line drawing illustrated in Teng
Shu-p’ing, Collectors’ Exhibition of Archaic Chinese Jades, National
Palace Museum, Taipei, 1999, p. 35, pl. 30:5. A rectangular plaque
depicting similar motifs is in the Palace Museum Collection, illustrated
in Zhongguo yuqi quanji 2- Shang & Western Zhou, Shijiazhuang, 1993,
pl. 242.
