拍品描述 翻译
Scientific Analysis Report: A thermoluminescence analysis report issued by Oxford Authentication on 25 February 2026, based on sample number C126b74, sets the firing date of the two samples taken between 600 and 1000 years ago, consistent with the dating above. A copy of the report accompanies this lot.China, 916-1279. The face is forcefully modeled with a fierce expression: bulging eyes glance sideways beneath sharply curling eyebrows; a pointed nose with flaring nostrils rises above a wide mouth framed by a bushy moustache and beard. The forehead is accentuated by protruding veins on the temples, heightening the sense of tension and authority. The hair is neatly combed and surmounted by an official's hat.The skin is covered in a vibrant green glaze, contrasted by dark hair and a red-glazed beard and eyebrows, with additional details picked out in ochre and straw-colored glazes.Provenance: A private estate in Switzerland. An important private collection in Paris, France, acquired from the above via the Swiss trade in 2017. Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Expected wear, firing irregularities, obvious losses, small chips to exposed areas. Few minor old repairs to the nose, beard, and eyebrows.Weight: 5.7 kg (incl. stand) Dimensions: Height 28.5 cm (excl. stand), 35.5 cm (incl. stand)With a fitted modern stand. (2)Expert's note: Life-size Liao dynasty sculptures are extremely rare, with the most famous being the Yixian glazed pottery luohans, discovered before World War I in caves at Yizhou and described as one of the most important groups of ceramic sculpture in the world. Today they can be found in a number of museums, including one at the British Museum, registration number 1913,1221.1, and two at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object numbers 21.76 and 20.114.The head exhibits distinctive iconographic features traditionally associated with dragon king imagery, including rabbit-like eyes, an ox-like mouth, pronounced curling eyebrows, and an official's hat, all of which contribute to its commanding and imperially inflected presence. In traditional Chinese belief, the Dragon King was endowed with the authority to control the weather, governing rainfall, drought, and floods. Periods of severe climatic hardship were often interpreted as manifestations of the Dragon King's displeasure, prompting ritual worship and supplication in order to restore balance and harmony.The present Dragon King head may plausibly relate to the Dragon King statue formerly enshrined in the Dragon King Temple at Guajia Valley, Pinggu District, Beijing. Local legend traces its origins to the Northern Song Dynasty, when General Yang Liulang reportedly rested his troops in this valley during campaigns against the Khitan Liao Dynasty, giving the area its name—Guajia Valley, meaning 'Armor-Hanging Valley'. Historical records indicate that a Dragon King Temple existed at this location as early as the Sui and Tang periods and was repeatedly rebuilt in later dynasties. According to Volume 55 of the Extended Continuation of the Comprehensive Mirror to Aid in Government (續資治通鑒長編), in the sixth year of the Xianping era of the Northern Song dynasty (1003 AD), the region was under long-term Liao control, supporting the likelihood that the temple and its cult images date to the Liao period. It has further been suggested that the Dragon King figure worshiped there may have been fired at the Longquanwu kiln in the Western Hills outside Beijing.Auction result comparison:Type: RelatedAuction: Christie's Hong Kong, 9 July 2020, lot 2701Price: HKD 812,500 or approx. EUR 95,500 (for two) converted and adjusted for inflation at the time of writing: Two impressive large painted stucco heads of guardian kings, head painted in white: Northern Song dynasty (960-1127) head painted in red: Ming dynasty or earlierExpert remark: Compare the closely related modeling of this head and the subject with similar expression, bulging eyes glancing to the side, bushy brows, and flared nostrils. Note the size (50 cm). This head is dated to the Northern Song dynasty, while the lot further comprises a red-painted guardian head dated “Ming dynasty or earlier”.
