|宋/元 黃玉沁色虎符 「與上郡太守四為虎符第一」刻款Provenance:Durwin Tang Collection來源:鄧德雍收藏Tallies were made since the Eastern Zhou dynasty in bronze and jade, often in the form of a tiger. See for example a gold-inlaid bronze tiger tally, Warring States period, unearthed from Duchchengcun, Xi'an City, in the Shaanxi History Museum; and another, Western Han dynasty, excavated at Xianggangshan, The Museum of the King of Nanyue, Guangdong Province, illustrated by J.C.S.Lin, ed., The Search for Immortality: Tomb Treasures of Han China, Cambridge, 2012, no. 143. See also a related green and russet jade 'mythical beast' half-tally, from the Baron and Baroness von Oertzen Collection, illustrated by S.H.Hansford, Jade - Essence of Hills and Streams, Johannesburg, 1969, p.106, which was later sold at Christie's South Kensington, London, 7 November 2008, lot 241 (part lot).虎符東周即有所見,然材質不一。如西安市杜城村出土一件秦國銅錯金虎符,現藏陝西歷史博物館。另見廣州象崗山出土一件稀罕銅虎符,現存西漢南越王博物館,著錄於J.C.S.Lin編,《The Search for Immortality: Tomb Treasures of Han China》,劍橋,2012年,編號143。另可參考von Oertzen男爵伉儷舊藏一件青玉帶沁虎符,見S.H.Hansford著,《Jade - Essence of Hills and Streams》,約翰內斯堡,1969年,頁106,其後售於佳士得南肯辛頓,2008年11月7日,拍品編號241(之一)。
