商 玉夔龍
長 9.5 cm. ( 3 3/4 in.)

參考:方頭玉蟠龍,形製與此拍品相似,載於中國玉器全集編輯委員會編,陳志達和方國錦著《中國玉器全集 2 商.西周》,河北美術出版社,1993年,頁48,編號58
商代玉夔龍,青白玉質,局部帶褐沁,立體圓雕,呈長方狀,造型威猛。玉龍頭部近方形,仰首前視,張口露齒,鼻微突,雙圓鼻孔,對鑽打孔而成,「臣」字雙目,眉細而彎,一對龍角後伏,呈柱形,稱「蘑菇形」角。龍身微曲前伸,兩足屈於腹下,各有五爪,龍尾向上捲曲。玉龍渾身滿布菱形、三角形及鱗片形紋飾,均以雙線琢出,兩腿部及腮部飾雲雷紋。 《說文解字》曰「夔,神魅也,如龍一足。」商周時期的青銅器紋飾上凡是表現一足的,類似爬蟲的物象都稱之為夔,這是引用古藉中「夔一足」的記載。其實一足的動物是雙足動物的側面寫形,故一般不採「夔紋」一詞,而稱為「夔龍紋」。夔龍乃是想像性的神怪動物,是龍的萌芽期,也是中國龍文化演變過程的一個重要階段。 商代玉龍大多出土於河南安陽殷墟文化遺址,多呈扁片狀,立體圓雕者極為罕見,已知僅婦好墓曾出土一件相似者。本品比之婦好墓那件體型更為碩大,紋飾更為豐富。如此館藏級精品,實屬可遇不可求,入手良機僅此一次。
