Bearer
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the form and design is consistent with modern made pieces flooding out of China the last 20 years. They are very good at making recent versions look 100-200 years old, but they typically throw in designs that were just not commonly found. Kind of like making a modern fantasy sword design look old by aging it with chemicals etc.
I bought 2 similarish ones 20years ago for $500 each. The cost of the study. |

Hi Joe,
Possibly made in southern Yunnan where there are ethnic minorities following Buddhism. Ian. |

That is interesting, would the Buddhist minority in Yunnan regions be due to other religion dominating, Islam? I am only guessing because of news activity of late regarding Uighers etc. Jim |

Ouch! Thats pretty direct. As I do not claim any particular experience with Chinese weaponry, but find the topic extremely interesting, I wonder if you might detail a bit on how that evaluation is determined. Is this jian based on a specific form from which it is copied? or is it a composite of various elements? It would be great to see 'authentic' examples of this, which are fully substantiated, in comparison, perhaps you might include one? |
