Expert's note: The amber is of exceptional quality, nearly flawless, with a magnificent color. Even at this small size, such specimens are extremely rare and were exclusively reserved for the Imperial court and its entourage.Finely carved as a mythical beast with a single horn and bushy tail, its head turned back as its cub crawls up its chest from between the front paws, the body of the beasts finely incised with fur and scrolling curls. The translucent amber of a fine deep-red color with dark inclusions.Provenance: Collection of F. Bailey Vanderhoef Jr., Ojai, California, USA, and thence by descent. Christie's New York, 17 September 2010, lot 1253 (sold for USD 10,000 or approx. EUR 14,000 converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing). Collection of Barbu Kestenband, acquired from the above, and thence by descent. F. Bailey 'Billy' Vanderhoef, Jr. (1913-2008) was a life honorary trustee, supporter, and unofficial curator of Asian Art at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, California. In 1991, on the occasion of the Museum's 50th anniversary, Billy donated 108 pieces from his fine collection of Asian works of art from China, India, Japan, and Tibet. Back in June of 1938, Billy Vanderhoef, then 24 years old, and fellow Harvard student Wilbur L. Cummings, Jr., set off on an expedition to Tibet, where they sought to document the religious art and legendary 'lama dances' in the city of Gyangtse in western Tibet. Their photographs of the art and festivals they saw in Gyangtse, including the annual unfurling of the Great Thangka on a mountain slope, were published a year later in the 12 June 1939 issue of Life magazine, and were among the first color images of Tibet to appear in the American press. Some of the paintings, sculpture, and ritual objects that the two young men brought back from their trip across the Himalayas were donated to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in 1954. Barbu Kestenband (1938-2020) was a professor in mathematics at the New York Institute of Technology, who published several articles in mathematical journals in the 1980s and 1990s.Condition: Good condition with wear and natural imperfections including fissures.
