From personal ornamentation to funerary practice, from palace
decoration to private devotion, jade has played a major role in
Chinese social, cultural, and political life for millennia.
Exploring the history of this revered stone through the esteemed
Grenville L. Winthrop Collection at the Harvard Art Museums-which
includes some of the finest examples of ancient and archaizing
jades outside China-this volume explains how and why jade developed
its special significance. In-depth entries on over one hundred
objects present recent archaeological discoveries and new
information garnered from conservation analysis, while Jenny So's
broad and engaging narrative not only elucidates the layered
meanings of the objects and their iconography but also delves into
the unique qualities of the material and the craftsmanship involved
in quarrying and working jade. Distributed for the Harvard Art
Museums
