Item Details
Description
Ca. 202 BC-220 AD. A hollow-formed terracotta rabbit figurine with black pelt, and coral-pink pigmentation on the nose and ears. The rabbit is depicted sitting on all fours with his ears pricked up. In Chinese tradition, the rabbit is the luckiest of animals and symbolises elegance, beauty, and mercy. This piece has been precisely dated by means of a Thermo Luminescence analysis carried out by Oxford Authentication. The samples collected date the piece to the period reflected in its style, whilst also showing no modern trace elements. The TL certificate with its full report will accompany this lot. Restored. Size: L:290mm / W:270mm ; 3.75kg Provenance: From the private collection of a Somerset gentleman; previously in an old British collection, formed before 2000 on the UK /European art markets.
