Pingente em forma de dragão enroscado

3rd century BCE
Not on view
Soberbo exemplo de escultura em jade da China antiga, este pingente tem a forma de um dragão delgado cujo corpo serpentino se enrosca em uma curva graciosa. Sulcos profundos entalhados no tronco do animal acentuam seu poder, mas também criam a aparência de uma corda entrançada. As imagens de dragões sinuosos de corpo encurvado e mandíbulas ameaçadoras, um motivo ornamental predominante no final do período Zhou oriental, foram inspiradas na arte do ocidental que foi introduzida na China pelos nômades das estepes eurásicas.
