A Rare Chinese White Jade Dancing Figural Pendant, Western Han Dynasty
西漢 雙面白玉舞人珮
Western Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-9 A.D.)
This piece is carved from white jade on both sides, with the front finely polished and gently tapered toward the edge. The reverse side is flatter in comparison, a cloth box.
Note:
The double-sided jade dancer pendant captures a figure performing the dance, with one sleeve raised gracefully and the opposite sleeve carved into a stylized phoenix head, its surface marked by scattered dark and golden suffusions. Stylistically related examples include a pair of similarly posed jade dancers excavated from Han Tomb No. 1 at Mount Xishan in Henan (1986)(https://www.chnmus.net/ch/collection/appraise/details.html?id=512158654903578295), an elaborately carved piece with comparable golden suffusions in the Taipei Palace Museum (故玉003250N000000000), and a slightly earlier double-figure pendant (F1930.27a-k) in the National Gallery of Asian Art in Washington. DC, believed to be from a late Warring States tomb at Jincun.
是件雙面雕玉舞人珮，生動捕捉了舞者表演中的瞬間姿態：一袖輕揚，姿態優雅，另一袖則化為簡潔而富有裝飾性的鳳首造型。玉質表面散布著深色與金色的沁斑，古意盎然。
其風格可資比較的例子，包括1986年河南僖山漢墓一號墓出土的一對姿態相似的玉舞人 (https://www.chnmus.net/ch/collection/appraise/details.html?id=512158654903578295); 國立故宮博物院藏一件帶有類似金色沁斑且雕琢精緻的玉舞人（藏品編號：故玉003250N000000000）；以及美國華盛頓國立亞洲藝術博物館所藏一件年代更早的雙人連體珮（藏品編號：F1930.27a-k），據考或出自金村戰國晚期墓葬。
