拍品描述
A SMALL GILT-BRONZE FIGURE OF A WOMAN, WESTERN HAN DYNASTY

China, 206 BC-9 AD. The nude figure stands in a rigid posture with legs shoulder-width apart. Her face features almond-shaped eyes, high arched brows, a long nose, and slender lips. Her neatly incised hair is styled into a topknot, gracefully falling to the back of the neck. This rare talisman is crafted to resemble the thousands of earthenware figures found in Han dynasty tombs (see literature comparison below), known as terracotta mingqi (funerary objects), which were believed to serve and protect the deceased in the afterlife.

Provenance: From a European private collection.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Ancient wear, signs of weathering and erosion, encrustations, corrosion, small nicks, rubbing to gilding, obvious losses. The bronze is covered in a rich, naturally grown patina with vibrant malachite and cuprite encrustations.

Weight: 142.3 g
Dimensions: Height 11.2 cm

Literature comparison:
Compare a related pottery figure of a nude woman, 53.7 cm high, dated to the Western Han dynasty, in the Asian Art Museum of San Francsico, accession number 1996.27.2. Compare a related pottery figure of a nude man, 57.4 cm high, dated to the Western Han dynasty, in the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco, accession number 1991.33.
