[BUNJANG] Ancient Chinese Shang Dynasty Jade Carved Frog Pendant / 화전개구리형 옥패
This is a detailed introduction to a Shang Dynasty jade frog (or toad) pendant, a significant ancient artifact.
* **Dimensions:** Height: 6.8cm. This is a large, ancient animal pendant.
* **Craftsmanship:** The carving is a flat relief. The front is intricately detailed, while the back is smooth, typical of ancient pendant artistry.
* **Functionality:** A circular hole in the center was used for threading a cord, allowing it to be worn as an ornament.
* **Material:** Made from Tremolite Jade (Huadian Jade). The jade exhibits an original pale bluish-white color.
* **Patina & Coloration:** The pendant has developed a natural caramel-colored coating, especially on the head and edges, with deeper brown tones. Old white cotton-like inclusions are visible within the jade, indicating secondary coloration from long-term soil permeation.
* **Artistic Motifs:** Features the characteristic Shang Dynasty double-line 'yin' and 'yang' pattern. Lines are firm and angular, with symmetrical cloud and geometric patterns carved on the eyes, limbs, and body, echoing the decorative logic of Shang Dynasty bronze surface patterns.
* **Form:** The front depicts a frog in a crawling posture with its limbs extended outwards, exhibiting clear and distinct contours. The style emphasizes mystique over hyper-realism, closely matching jade frog carvings excavated from Yin Ruins tombs.
* **Drilling Technique:** The central hole displays characteristics of mature Shang Dynasty pipe drilling techniques, with smooth inner walls.
* **Symbolism:**
* In the Shang Dynasty, frogs/toads were auspicious symbols.
* Their association with laying many eggs symbolized fertility, the continuation of descendants, and the prosperity of the people.
* Frogs were closely linked to rainfall and agriculture, and were used in rituals and prayers for rain.
* Over time, the frog evolved into an early form of the 'Golden Toad,' symbolizing wealth accumulation.
This is a high-quality jade piece, highly recommended.
