Description

A BUFFALO HORN FIGURE OF A DANCING IMMORTAL, LATE 18TH CENTURY

Published and Exhibited: Spink & Son Ltd., The Minor Arts of China IV, 1989, p. 37, no. 38.

China. Finely carved as a dancing lady holding a leaf-shaped fan in her left hand as she elegantly sways, her arm sweeping the folds of her flowing robes with long sleeves around her body. The oval face meticulously incised with fine features, the hair parted and gathered into two spiral buns, and flanked by elongated earlobes. The carving follows the natural form of the buffalo horn and the material is of a warm amber color.

Provenance: Spink & Son, London, 1989. A private collection in the United Kingdom, acquired from the above and thence by descent. The base with the Spink label from the Minor Arts of China IV exhibition inscribed with the catalog number, ‘38’.
Condition: Very good condition with minor wear and natural imperfections including expected minor age cracks. An area of the robe with a small loss and associated old fill, obscured by the fan and sleeve.

Weight: 36.4 g
Dimensions: Height 10.4 cm

The traditional Chinese fan dance has been a part of China's heritage for over two thousand years. Considered to be an ancient form of folk dance, the fan dance serves various purposes, such as passing down stories, and is highly regarded by the Chinese.
