拍品描述 翻译
China, 220-589. Finely cast in a crouching pose with arched body and lowered forearms, the beast rears its head upward and shows a fierce expression, as if about to pounce on its enemy. The sculpture is exquisitely detailed with a ruyi-shaped snout, long funnel-shaped ears, scroll motifs around the body, a scaly spine, and a short tail.Provenance: From a private collection in Asia, acquired in Hong Kong before 2000.Condition: Superb condition with expected ancient wear and casting irregularities, light scratches, some corrosion, minute nicks, minor touchups. The bronze with a rich, naturally grown patina with vibrant malachite and cuprite encrustations overall.Weight: 1,401 g Dimensions: Length 19 cmThe bixi is a mythical beast with the head of a dragon, the tail of a qilin, the paws of a buddhistic lion and the body of a tortoise. The domed carapace of the creature was believed to represent the vault of the heavens while its flat lower shell represented the earth; the living flesh within represented humankind. Not only was this mythical creature one of the earliest spiritual symbols in China, it was also associated with the concept of longevity - it appeared to live indefinitely and seemingly went without food, air, or water.Literature comparison: Compare a closely related bronze lamp in the form of a tianlu, 13 cm long, dated to the Western Han dynasty, in the Yale University Art Gallery, accession number 1954.48.14.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Christie's Hong Kong, 6 June 2023, lot 3243 Price: HKD 302,400 or approx.
