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 cm. W. 8.08 cm. T. 0.45 cm. Weight 50 grams. Crafted from warm pale celadon jade naturally veined with fine russet streaks and faint pale mineral markings, this flattened circular bi disc features a neatly cut central aperture. Two small evenly spaced suspension perforations are drilled through the upper edge for threading cord. Its outer rim bears soft rounded edges refined by consistent hand polishing, with no carved ornamentation, letting the stone’s natural texture and subtle earthy staining take precedence. The balanced, symmetrical silhouette exemplifies restrained primitive jade aesthetics, serving as both a wearable adornment and a sacred ceremonial jade artifact carrying ancient symbolic meaning.
