Description
A PAINTED POTTERY FIGURE OF A MYTHICAL BEAST, LATE EASTERN HAN OR SLIGHTLY LATER
China, 2nd-4th century. The slender beast standing foursquare, the mouth agape revealing tongue and teeth as it lets out a fierce snarl, further detailed with bulging eyes, funnel-shaped ears, and two curling horns mirrored by a long curling tail. Overall neatly incised with lines marking the fur. Note that the front feet have distinct claws while the hind feet appear more as paws.
Provenance: From a noted private collection in New York City, New York, USA.
Condition: Some old repairs and touchups as generally expected from Han dynasty excavations. Losses, Chips, fissures, and encrustations. Extensive wear to pigments. Overall presenting well and commensurate with age.
Weight: 2,984 g
Dimensions: Length 37 cm
Auction result comparison: Compare a related pottery figure of a tricorn, dated late Eastern Han to Six Dynasties, 3rd-4th century, of only slightly larger size (45 cm long), at Christie's New York in Fine Chinese Ceramics & Works of Art on 18 March 2016, lot 1472, sold for USD 15,000.
東漢末年或更晚彩繪陶神獸
中國,二至四世紀。神獸四足著地站立,嘴巴張開,可見獠牙與舌頭,仿佛發出激烈的咆哮,眼睛凸出,漏斗狀的耳朵和長長的捲曲尾巴,頭上兩角。塑造生動,線條流暢。請注意,前腳有明顯的爪子,而後腳則更像是腳掌。
