拍品描述 翻译
China, 1115-1234. Finely cast seated upon three powerful legs, the creature raises its left forepaw above swirling cloud vapors, conveying contained energy and alertness. The ferocious head is sharply defined, with a long, curling horn rising above the upturned snout.Its sinuous body is articulated with a pronounced ridged spine that flows seamlessly into the furcated and elaborately scrolling tail, the elegant termination balancing the strength of the stance.Provenance: From a private collection in Pennsylvania, United States, acquired in 1988 and thence by descent. A copy of a letter discussing the present lot, written by the associate curator of the Royal Ontario Museum, Doris Dohrenwend, and addressed to Dean J. F. Leyerle of the University of Toronto, dated 14 March 1983, accompanies the lot. In this letter, the bronze is described as “a somewhat unusual and thus puzzling piece - not the most typical of its kind.” It is tentatively attributed to the northern borderlands of China, “of that type designated variously as 'Ordos', Sino-Siberian, etc.” The author further notes connections to “the Eurasian Animal style (with its far-flung manifestation, from South Russia to Inner Mongolia…)” and suggests a date “c. 206 B.C.-A.D. 8,” contemporary with the Western Han period. She characterizes it as “an interesting piece of work” and emphasizes the preliminary nature of the assessment. Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Extensive wear, signs of weathering and erosion, traces of prolonged burial, and small losses. The surface with malachite and cuprite encrustations.Weight: 1 kg Dimensions: Height 16.6 cmThe most intriguing feature of the present dragon is its distinctive posture. Vigorously portrayed in a seated position with one front paw raised and supported on a trail of vapor, the current lot is a superb work which translates the majestic nature of the mighty dragon into an expressive visual art form.The Jinshi (History of the Jin), compiled during the Yuan dynasty, records that seated dragons served as decorative elements affixed to the danian, a type of imperial carriage used by Jin dynasty emperors. This reference underscores the ritual and ceremonial significance of the motif within courtly contexts.Literature comparison:Compare a closely related bronze dragon, dated Jin dynasty, discovered in Acheng, Heilongjiang province, now in the Heilongjiang Museum, Harbin, included in the exhibition The Chinese Memory.
