DESCRIPTION:

Extremely fine Ancient Chinese Jade Cong.

This is the finest made Cong we can remember ever handling.

The walls are literally wafer thin with extraordinarily precise gently slopping excurvate external edges.

The Jade itself is a totally translucent White Nephrite.

There is a natural fissure along one of the edges on the bottom in which over the millennia silt, dirt, and organic materials

have leached into creating what looks like a razor thin black streak. Very interesting and exhibits absolute mineralogical evidence of true antiquity.

The Cong features a classic fine old smooth polish over its entirety.

Based on the overall form and associated mineralogical forensic evidence,

we are certain this is ancient example of the period.

Truly a 'Museum Quality' Masterwork Jade.

Neolithic Period to Shang Dynasty (2000 - 1200 B.C.)

MATERIAL:

Extremely White Nephrite Jade

MEASUREMENTS:

1 13/16" Wide x 1 9/16" Tall

WEIGHT:

Jackson's On Main History:
Our business was established in 1966 by Claude and William Jackson, father and son, in Hollywood, California. Claude Jackson (now deceased) was a well known West Coast artist who executed numerous fine works many depicting the great movie stars of early Hollywood. Several of his works have been published and those originals now reside in the collections of various noted individuals and institutions. Most notable probably is his depiction of Marilyn Monroe in his 'Red Kimono', 1975, published as the centerfold in Roger Taylor's anthology Marilyn in Art (1984). For years we operated as a mail order fine art distribution firm selling posters and other contemporary multiples. As time passed we diversified and grew and now we maintain a 3,000 square foot full service walk-in art and antique Gallery in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky. We are fully staffed and equipped to provide prompt professional service and we guarantee ALL sales to be as described. We also are always interested in purchasing quality art works and we pay top dollar. If we can't buy it we will gladly consign it and work diligently for you to insure a prompt and fair sale. Please send pictures for quotes. In the meanwhile, Bid with confidence! We guarantee your full satisfaction with every sale.
