Archaic Chinese Jades, Taipei, 1999, Catalogue no. 58
Long jade ge-halberd blades such as the present lot were made during
the Shang dynasty, and their length points to a ceremonial rather than
practical use. Compare to a shorter jade ge-halberd blade (34.1 cm.)
similarly carved with an asymmetric blade and a diagonal butt edge in
the present sale, see lot 2709.
