Description

A GILT-BRONZE TIGER-FORM ORNAMENT, HAN DYNASTY
This lot is from a single owner collection and is therefore offered without reserve

China, 206 BC-220 AD. The feline cast in a tightly crunched pose with its head resting on its underbelly, its limbs sprawled and flanking the sides, the fur incised with its characteristic stripes, its face detailed with a broad snout below oval-shaped protruding eyes and large pointed ears, all supported on a circular disc with crashing waves in the round.

Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. Acquired between circa 1965-2012.
Condition: Superb condition, commensurate with age. Wear, casting irregularities, expected rubbing to gilt, scattered nicks and scratches, and traces of weathering. The bronze with a rich, naturally grown patina with malachite and cuprite encrustation.

Weight: 67.9 g
Dimensions: Diameter 4.5 cm

Ornaments crafted from precious materials such as bronze, and often gilded or inlaid with gold, silver or gemstones, represent the pinnacle of craftsmanship during the Warring States period and Han dynasty.
