FROM AN IMPORTANT MONTREAL COLLECTION

FINE AND ANTIQUE JADE LYCHEE GROUP
CHINA
The Chinese had very advanced knowledge of mathematics very early on when comparing to the western world and on this Lychee group very complex math is encoded into a simple pattern without showing any numbers themselves. The motif adorning this lychee group is a pattern known as the ‘The golden ratio’ or ‘phi ratio’ or the “sacred cut” or the “golden mean” it expresses divine proportion and relates to ‘Sacred Geometry’. Sacred Geometry gives us the math on which everything on earth is based. Antique examples of Lychee are very rare and for reasons unknown, jade carvings from the Ming and Qing dynasty are often decorated with patterns relating to similarly complex mathematics from Sacred Geometry.
