PROVENANCE: The private collection of Earl Sorensen, based in Atlanta, Georgia, represents decades of dedicated collecting in the fields of Buddhist art and Chinese jade. An international businessman who frequently traveled throughout Asia during the 1960s, Sorensen developed a deep appreciation for Eastern art and culture through his extensive business activities.During a business trip to western China, he was presented with a Buddha statue by a local monk. This meaningful gift sparked a lifelong passion for Buddhist artifacts, Chinese jades, and other works reflecting the rich artistic and spiritual traditions of Asia. Over the following decades, he carefully assembled a distinguished collection, acquiring pieces that reflected both aesthetic beauty and historical significance.As he prepares for retirement and relocation to Florida, Mr. Sorensen has chosen to share his cherished collection with the next generation of collectors.The Earl Sorensen Collection is offered in this auction as Lots 267?271 and Lots 401?434. L. 8.1 cm. W. 8.12 cm. T. 0.62 cm. Weight 41 grams. This circular tubular jade bangle is carved from pale celadon jade overlaid with extensive mottled white calcified patina scattered with faint russet flecks. Its outer and inner rims are smoothly rounded from meticulous ancient grinding, forming a uniform, well-proportioned circular band without decorative carving. Subtle translucent pale green hues peek through the weathered mineral encrustation across the polished surface. Lacking ornamentation, it relies on pure geometric form and natural aged patina for quiet elegance, a classic wearable ceremonial jade piece embodying the minimalist aesthetic of ancient Chinese jade artistry.
