Description

A DARK BROWN GLAZED STONEWARE WHISTLE IN THE FORM OF A BODHISATTVA HEAD, SONG DYNASTY

China, 960-1279. The instrument deeply hollowed, with a blowing aperture at the base and a finger hole on the reverse. The front finely modeled as the head of a crowned bodhisattva, the serene face with almond-shaped eyes beneath softly arched brows, a prominent nose, and full lips forming a calm smile. The whistle covered with a lustrous dark brown glaze, flowing down the face of the deity and stopping irregularly, leaving the mouth of the instrument and the reverse unglazed.

Provenance: V. Li, Casey Building, Hong Kong, 2013. Collection of Dr. Koos de Jong, acquired from the above. A Dutch art historian and collector, Dr. Koos de Jong has worked across several cultural institutions in the Netherlands from 1976, serving as the director of the European Ceramic Work Center in Den Bosch between 1999-2009, before retiring in 2009. He has authored hundreds of articles and several books on Dutch fine and decorative arts from the Middle Ages to the modern era. His scholarly interests expanded to Chinese material culture, culminating in the 2013 publication of Dragon & Horse: Saddle Rugs and Other Horse Tack from China and Beyond, a pioneering study on Chinese equestrian gear. Continuing this line of inquiry, his more recent book published in 2021, Small China: Early Chinese Miniatures, explores the largely overlooked world of Chinese miniature objects, combining archaeological research with art historical insight.
Condition: Very good condition with expected wear and firing irregularities including glaze recesses and pitting. Minor fritting, some flaking, and tiny losses and nibbling to the extremities.

Weight: 60.0 g
Dimensions: Height 8.2 cm
