Horsehead jades had different characteristics and values in different periods. The jade horse head from the Warring States Period, such as the one currently collected in the Zhongzang Guild Hall in Beijing, was made of Hetian bluish-white jade. It was 15.8 cm high, 10.6 cm wide, and 6.3 cm thick. The horse's head was purplish red in color, with brown and black spots in between. Some windows opened to reveal bluish white jade. The horse's eyes were round, its mouth was slightly open, and its ears were upright. The horse's mane was meticulously carved, the side of the horse's neck was decorated with dense cloud patterns and feather patterns, the cheeks and forehead were carved with smooth cloud patterns, and the front of the horse's neck was carved with taotie patterns. The whole vessel was finely carved and decorated with gorgeous patterns. Its artistic value was quite high. The jade horse of the Han Dynasty had many kinds of shapes such as round carving and sheet carving. The round carved jade horse head was more unique. For example, the Han Dynasty jade horse head hidden in the Victoria Albert Museum in the United States was more famous. The 2016 Hong Kong Jiade Spring Auction and the 2020 Sotheby's auction in New York all had items related to the Han Dynasty jade horse head. There was also a type of Han Dynasty jade horse-head shaped ware called horse-head jade seal. For example, a round carving of a 8.3-centimeter high jade horse-head had a vivid carving on its head. Except for the window on the forehead, the whole body was covered with gray skin. It was engraved with 57-word inscriptions. Most of the recognizable parts were not recognized. Because of the arrangement problem, the sentence was not broken. The bottom of the horse-head was engraved with the word "Tai Ling". The inscription had the shadow of Qin bamboo slips, which was similar to the style of Han Dynasty copper carving stone. The carving rules were consistent. The middle of the characters was deep and steep, and the edge was shallow. The patina was consistent with the surface of the body. In addition, in terms of jade belt hooks, from the Warring States Period to the Qin and Han Dynasties, it was the most popular period. Among them, there was a beast-faced cloud pattern jade belt hook with a horse head. It was 6.9 cm long and 1.9 cm wide. The jade material was gray-white. The hook button was oval. The hook surface was decorated with hook and cloud pattern, and the two sides were decorated with double S patterns. There were also some special jade horse-head-shaped objects in the Han Dynasty, such as the jade horse-head collected by Harvard University. It was only the head of a horse and was made of jade. There was an oval hole carved below, and there was a rusty iron rod core in the hole, indicating that it was a pieced part mixed with perishable materials. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
