Cong Tube with Design of Tiered Humanoid-deity Masks and a Flying Bird, Liangzhu Culture (3300-2000 BCE)

Cong Tube with Design of Tiered Humanoid-deity Masks and a Flying Bird, Liangzhu Culture (3300-2000 BCE). Jade. Height 39.3 cm, Upper width 8.1 cm, Lower width 7.1, Inner diameter of upper hole 5.0 cm © Shanghai Museum 

 

This piece of work is a typical artefact of later Liangzhu Culture. With a height of 39.3 cm and 15 sections, it belongs to the larger pieces of the jade Cong of this kind both at home and abroad. On the four sides of each section it is decorated with symmetrical simplified anthropomorphic mask patterns. It is rare to see such a flying bird pattern on the top opening.
