拍品描述 翻译
China, c. 770-221 BC. Boldly cast, the recumbent animal is shown in profile, resting with its legs tucked beneath its plump body, which extends into a strongly defined head with a pointed muzzle and a pair of coiled horns.Provenance: From The Sam and Myrna Myers Collection, Paris, France. Acquired between circa 1965-2012.Condition: Fair condition, commensurate with age, with ancient wear and casting-inherent irregularities. Distinct traces of weathering and corrosion with associated age cracks and minor surface losses. Sparse nicks and shallow surface scratches. The bronze surface with a rich, naturally developed patina with some areas of attractive malachite encrustation.Weight: 102.9 gDimensions: Length 5.9 cm The ram occupied a position of pronounced significance within the symbolic frameworks of ancient China, particularly in ritual, ethical, and cosmological discourse. From an early stage, notably during the Shang dynasty, representations of the ram appear on ritual bronze vessels in close association with sacrificial practices [Fig. 1-2]. Within the highly codified ritual system of early Chinese society, the ram was conventionally associated with purity, moral correctness, and cosmic harmony. Consequently, its depiction on ritual bronzes functioned not merely as a reference to the sacrificial act itself, but as a visual articulation of the ethical and cosmological principles inherent in ritual performance.Throughout the Eastern Zhou period, marked by increasing regional differentiation and a gradual loosening of formal conventions, the ram remained a persistent motif within the ornamental vocabulary of bronze artefacts. Ram heads, spiraled horns, and highly stylized or schematic bodies were integrated into handles, supports, and other structural components.During the Han dynasty, the ram continued to occupy a meaningful place within the visual and material culture of the period, increasingly incorporated into objects of daily use as well as funerary contexts, such as bronze lamps [Fig. 3]. Several examples from this corpus closely echo the recumbent posture of the animal observed in the present lot. In this context, the selection of the ram as a supporting or structural element for devices associated with illumination, an established metaphor for moral clarity, knowledge, and vital continuity, underscores its enduring symbolic resonance within Han cosmological thought.Auction result comparison:Type: Related Auction: Sotheby's Hong Kong, 18 October 2023, lot 548Price: HKD 44,450 or approx.
