DU0YH1 Du Jinpeng ed: YU HUA LIU YING: YINXU FUHAO MU CHUTU YUQI. (Jades Excavated from the Tomb of Fu Hao). 玉華流映 : 殷墟扶好墓出土玉器 。 杜金鵬 主編. Beijing, 2017. 219 pp. Colour text plates throughout. A few b/w line drawings. 29x21 cm. Boards. GBP 100.00 A detailed study of jades excavated from the tomb of the famous Fu Hao, Lady Fu. Fu Hao was a heroine of ancient China, being the wife of a pre-eminent Shang king, Wu Ding, and herself famous as a politician, military leader and shaman. The sheer number of jades found in her tomb at Anyang reflect her pre-eminence. The majority of the jades are small and are here enlarged in reproduction to show full and intricate detail. Many shown in numerous views. All text in Chinese. It seems this work may have been produced following the exhibition of Fu Hao jades at the Capital Museum in Beijing as no catalogue was produced for that exhibition. Subjects: Jade Item 186 in List 209. URL for this record: hanshan.com/?d/DU0YH1.HTM Record produced by Hanshan Tang Books, www.hanshan.com. |
