Anhänger in Form eines verknoteten Drachen

3rd century BCE
Not on view
Dieser Anhänger ist ein herausragendes Beispiel früher chinesischer Jadeschnitzerei und windet sich in Form eines Drachen. Die tiefen Kerben darauf lassen den Körper wie ein Seil anmuten und verstärken den Eindruck von Kraft. Der Drache mit seinem gewundenen Körper und gefletschten Lefzen – ein Motiv, das in der späten Östlichen Zhou-Periode weit verbreitet war – wurde von westlicher Kunst inspiriert, die die Nomaden der eurasischen Steppen zu ihren chinesischen Nachbarn brachten.
