Description

A BURMESE GREEN AND WHITE-GLAZED STONEWARE BOWL WITH SOLDIERS OF THE ARMY OF MARA, MON TRIBE

Burma, presumably 18th century or earlier. Well-potted, the shallow dish with rounded sides, supported on a short, tapering foot. The interior decorated in varying shades of green on a creamy-white glaze to depict at the center a pair of hybrid figures with animal heads, each raising a sword, clad in pleated skirts with bare torsos. The central scene encircled along the rim by a broad band of scrolling tendrils and blossoming chrysanthemums. The exterior painted with schematically rendered rounded leaves and linear decoration. The base unglazed, revealing the reddish ware beneath, marked by five distinctive scratches.

Provenance: Private collection of A. Hansen, Denmark. Mr. Hansen (b. 1955) is a retired Danish Supreme Court lawyer and lifelong collector with a deep passion for history and culture. His collecting journey began at the age of eight with stamps, encouraged by his father, and quickly developed into a serious pursuit. By 1982, his specialized collection of Greenland postal history earned international recognition. Following this success, Mr. Hansen turned his focus to fine art and antiquities, beginning with Danish art and later expanding into East and Southeast Asian artifacts after an inspiring Japanese exhibition in 1985. Over the following decades, his collection grew to include mostly ceramic artworks from Annam, Khmer, Burmese, and Thai origins, acquired through reputable collectors and auction houses.
Condition: Very good condition with wear and firing irregularities, including pitting, fine craquelure, small burst bubbles, and glaze recess. Minor chips to the rim and foot, as well as fritting to the base.

Weight: 1,380 g
Dimensions: Diameter 29.4 cm

The scene on the present bowl stems from the legend of Buddha’s encounter with the army of Mara, during his meditation under the Bodhi tree. The two figures are soldiers of Mara’s army, depicted as dynamic, hybrid beings with animal heads and human bodies. The imagery reflects the regional tradition of portraying Mara’s forces as animated, zoomorphic entities meant to represent distraction, aggression, and worldly temptation.
