拍品描述
Expert's note: The present lot was recovered in the 1970s during an underwater excavation in the Chao Phraya near the Old Royal Palace (Wang Luang) within Ayutthaya Historical Park. The Chao Phraya river system underpinned the rise of central Thai polities and, ultimately, the Ayutthaya Kingdom (1351-1767). Contacts with Song and Yuan China had brought merchants, craftsmen, and migrants—and their belongings—into the region, and Ayutthaya maintained regular tributary missions and robust maritime trade with the Ming and Qing. This jade likely arrived through trade or tribute; how or when it entered the river remains unknown. Heavily corroded iron adheres to the jade, indicating it was once set into some kind of metal hardware, such as an armor, rather than worn as a free pendant. The horse motif and restrained incised detailing sit comfortably in a Song-Yuan frontier aesthetic that blended Chinese workshop style with steppe equestrian taste.China, circa 10th-14th century. Finely carved in openwork to depict a galloping horse with a long curved tail sweeping underneath the legs, the head surmounted by a ferocious dragon with sinuously coiled body, subtly detailed with scroll designs.Provenance: Discovered in the Chao Phraya river system by divers in the 1970s. The collection of a Thai university professor, acquired from the above. The collection of The Zelnik István Southeast Asian Gold Museum, acquired from the above via a local antiques dealer. Institutional art collection in Belgium, acquired from the above. Dr. István Zelnik, President of the Hungarian South and Southeast Asian Research Institute, is a former high-ranking Hungarian diplomat who spent several decades in Southeast Asia, building the largest known private collection of Asian art in Europe. Condition: Good condition with expected ancient wear. The jade is attached to a heavily corroded iron fitting showing extensive encrustation.
