A thermoluminescence analysis report issued by Oxford Authentication on 5 January 2026, based on sample number C125s45, sets the firing date of all three samples taken between 900 and 1500 years ago, consistentwith the dating above. A copy of the report accompanies this lot.China, 618-907. Impressively potted, each standing upright atop a rockwork base, both slender in build, with elongated legs and sinewy forearms, their faces powerfully modeled with bulging eyes, deeply furrowed brows, broad noses with flaring nostrils, and thick black moustaches. One figure's mouth is closed, while the other's is slightly open, revealing teeth and the tip of the tongue. Their fierce expressions are heightened by painted red lips.Each wears a close-fitting helmet adorned with feathered, flame-like projections and dotted motifs on a deep red ground. The guardians are clad in crisply rendered armor embellished with floral designs on the helmets, shoulders, and around their pronounced bellies, painted in red, white, green, and black over a white slip. Striped red-and-black tiger skins drape over their legs from beneath the armor at the back, above flaring skirts, while leopard skin elements join the armor at either side of the torso. (2)Provenance: Weisbrod Chinese Art, New York, 1997. A private collection in Canada, acquired from the above. Weisbrod Chinese Art, New York, 2005. Michael B. Weisbrod is a noted scholar of Chinese art, who has published extensively on the subject over a time span of more than 50 years. In 1972, Michael joined his father Dr. Gerald Weisbrod's Asian art gallery in Toronto, Canada. The father-and-son team opened their New York location on Madison Avenue in 1977, and during the next 45 years the gallery held a significant number of exhibitions, selling to museums and private collectors across the globe, eventually adding further locations in Shanghai and Hong Kong. Condition: Overall presenting remarkably well and fully commensurate with age, possibly with old repairs, as commonly observed on authentic Tang dynasty excavated material. Signs of weathering consistent with prolonged burial are evident. Minor wear and firing flaws are present. The pigments are exceptionally well preserved, with only minimal touch-ups. Small nicks and losses. Each guardian shows drilled holes from sample-taking, now professionally filled.Weight: 8.1 kg and 8.7 kg Dimensions: Height 78 cm and 77.5 cmLiterature comparison:A pair of smaller painted pottery guardians with similar headdress and decoration atop recumbent animals is illustrated in Liu Liang-yu, A Survey of Chinese Ceramic, Early Wares: Prehistoric to Tenth Century, p. 259, and from the Tang dynasty. Another pair of pottery guardians is illustrated in Warren E. Cox, The Book of Pottery and Porcelain, Volume I, plate 31, b-d.Auction result comparison: Type: Closely related Auction: Christie's New York, 14 September 2012, lot 1379 Price: USD 27,500 or approx.
