A SANCAI-GLAZED POTTERY FIGURE OF A BACTRIAN CAMEL, TANG DYNASTY

Scientific Analysis Report: A thermoluminescence analysis report issued by the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and History of Art at Oxford University (the predecessor of Oxford Authentication) on 9 November 1976, based on sample number 266c31, sets the firing date of the sample taken between 1080 and 1700 years ago, consistent with the dating above. A copy of the report accompanies this lot.

China, 618-907. Well modeled standing foursquare on an unglazed rectangular base, the head raised high and the mouth agape in a braying motion with teeth bared, the camel covered in an amber glaze transmuting to straw in the face, the animal’s back with an amber-glazed and green-splashed saddle cloth draped over two large humps surmounted by unglazed fur tufts.

Expert’s note:
The unglazed fur tufts atop the camel’s humps are highly unusual and extremely rare, with no other known examples in public or private collections. These are not spur marks but were intentionally modeled as decorative elements.

Provenance: Sotheby Parke Bernet, New York, 23 October 1976, lot 177 (illustrated). An important private collection in Toronto, Canada, acquired from the above, and thence by descent in the family.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Wear and firing flaws including glaze recesses and firing cracks. Some glaze flaking, small chips, scratches. Touchups and repairs, especially to the feet, all as expected from authentic Tang dynasty excavations.

Weight: 5,034 g (excl. stand) and 5,603 g (incl. stand)
Dimensions: Height 54 cm (excl. stand) and 55.5 cm (incl. stand)

With a fitted wood stand, dating from the 20th century. (2)
