Archaic Ge dagger-blade in nephrite jade. China, Qing dynasty (1644-1912), late 18th-19th century.
mm 83 x 21.50x 4
The Chinese jade dagger (Ge) is in the style of the Shang Dynasty (1600–1046 BC). These blades were intended for ceremonial or symbolic use rather than as weapons, and are often found in ancient tombs.
The object is made of nephrite jade, with a pointed blade with sharp, blunt edges and a circular opening, likely for suspension. The Ge's shape derives from the earliest metal dagger-axes of the Shang Dynasty and dates back to the Neolithic period.
