Description
Asian Art. Ancient China. Cong pillar decorated with masks, symbolising the Way of the Earth, a ritual jade object associated with the mysteries of Earth and Heaven. Dark green nephrite jade marbled with light green and beige – a truly beautiful material. Dimensions: approx. 8 x 8 x 6 cm. A uniquely enigmatic, bottomless vase, often associated with the Bi. Evoking the dawn of Chinese civilisation, this is a highly elaborate symbolic form linked to rituals of the past. Two rows of shamanic masks, finely chiselled in intricate detail at the four corners. In the style of the Liangzhou Neolithic culture.
