SUMMARY:Jade Humanoid Figures: A Look into Possible Hongshan Culture Origins
DESCRIPTION:This is the Annual Woolf Jade Lecture sponsored by the Woolf Charitable Trust\nA type of sculpture with both human and animal features is amongst the most mysterious of jade objects to have been described. Based on their style, they have been attributed to the Neolithic Hongshan culture of Northeast China. A small handful have been collected by reputable museums. However, these anthropomorphic jades have never been excavated scientifically. A few articles have been published on this type of jade, but perhaps due to the lack of scientific evidence that they are as old as they appear to be, there has been little attention paid to them since.\nThis talk reexamines the perplexing jades using scientific testing conducted on one example held in the collection of the Museum of Far Eastern Antiquities in Stockholm, Sweden, as well as comparing them to Hongshan jades that have been scientifically excavated.\n
