拍品描述 翻译

China, 1100-771 BC. The bell is cast to either side with three rows of neatly cast protruding spiral bosses, divided by rope-twist lines.

Provenance: From an important old French private collection assembled since the end of the 19th century. The family used to own one of the most expensive pieces of Asian art ever sold in France. According to the previous owner, “the present lot was hidden in a chest” and he discovered it there when he went to the place for the first time, many years ago.
Condition:
Original condition, commensurate with age. Wear, small dents, minor losses, minuscule nicks, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations. The base of the handle with ancient soldering marks, probably inherent to manufacture, or from only a little time thereafter. No hidden restoration whatsoever. Spectacular naturally grown patina with various tones of green, including deep malachite.

Weight: 1,595 g
Dimensions: Height 33.8 cm

Expert’s note (added 20.2.2023): The three throws of spikes on either side of the present bell have tips of varying shape, indicative of probable filing post manufacture, and neither the result of casting nor subsequent wear or weathering. Instead, there is a theory that suggests that these spikes were used for tuning the bells (see image section, for an enlargement showing this). Examples like the present lot were often found in the tombs of nobility, such as the set discovered in a grave chamber of the Marquis Yi of Zeng (see image section).

Bells of this type were made in graduated sizes to form a set or instrumental ‘chime’. Each bell was capable of emitting two different tones, dependent on the exact location struck. Robert Bagley explains, “sets of bells were both aurally and visually the most prominent instruments of musical ensembles” in ancient China, but were unknown outside of China, see Jenny So (ed.), Music in the Age of Confucius, Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Washington DC, 2000, pp. 35-63.
