Lot Description

西周 黃玉帶沁「龍」紋璜
長 13.1 cm. ( 5 1/8 in.) 厚 0.4 cm.





此器以稀罕的上乘黃玉雕琢而成,稍微帶朱砂沁。通體扁平,器形較寬,弧度半圆。玉璜兩端各有一穿綴孔,玉器雙面以雙鉤陰線雕刻兩條夔龍,斜向對稱佈局,「臣」字眼、頭相望、尾交錯,首尾之間各有一隻卷雲形足。龍首頂部有脊齒,首後端翹起似角狀,線條流暢,如行雲流水,工藝精湛,巧奪天工,包漿古樸自然,珍貴難得。 《周禮》曰:「以玉作六器,以禮天地四方,以蒼璧禮天,以黃琮禮地,以青圭禮東方,以赤璋禮南方,以白琥禮西方,以玄璜禮北方。」此件玉器正是玄璜,應為西周時期用以禮北方之祭祀玉器。《說文》曰:「璜,半壁也。」各個時代的玉璜除具有圓弧形的特徵外,多数不足半圆,只有少數像本品有如此規整的半壁型才真正称得上是玉璜。此外,玉璜通常為單面雕刻,此黃玉龍紋璜雙面皆工,選材上乘,極其少見,是塊值得收藏的美玉。
