Item Details

Description

China, Sanxingdui Period, ca 1200 BCE. A stunning pottery head used as a mold in the creation of bronze objects, depicting the head of an earth spirit. Eyes upturned at outside edges, angular nose, ears with drilled holes for earspools and strong chin and straight mouth - all covered in yellow/pink pigment. Earth spirits, or zhenmushou (grave-quelling beasts), were guardians that took the form of fantastic hybrid creatures composed of various animal and sometimes human elements and were placed in the tomb in pairs to ward off any malevolent beings who threatened to intrude. Size: 9"H (22.9 cm).

Provenance: Ex-private Miko Micklautz collection, Honolulu, Hawaii.

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.

A Certificate of Authenticity will accompany all winning bids.
