拍品描述
A BRONZE GROUP OF A HUNTING DOG AND A FALCON, MING DYNASTY

China, 1368-1644. Finely cast as a dog seated on its rear haunches, its spine neatly articulated, the mouth agape revealing teeth and a long tongue, the bulging eyes lending the animal a quizzical expression, a collar around its neck centered by a small double-gourd. A small falcon with incised wings is perched on the dog’s head.

Provenance: From and old private estate in Bordeaux, France.
Condition: Very good condition with surface wear and casting flaws, few small dents and minuscule nicks, occasional light scratches, and minor abrasions. Fine, naturally grown, smooth dark patina.

Weight: 802.3 g
Dimensions: Height 13.5 cm

Expert’s note:
The dog depicted in this bronze is most likely a Saluki, originally bred in the Fertile Crescent and once used by nomadic tribes to run down game animals. Examples of dogs that look like Salukis were painted by the Xuande Emperor, who himself was an avid hunter, a characteristic shared by many Ming Emperors. The falcon, depicted in the present bronze perched on the dog’s head, is another animal widely used in hunting, and would have been known as such to the Ming from the previous ruling dynasty in China, the Yuan.
