拍品描述
China. Finely carved, of circular form with a gently concave section, the backside centered by a crouching beast-form loop, encircled by a band of four mythical lions striding amid fruiting grapevines, further enclosed by a broader register of larger grapevines and leaves, all contained within raised borders. The frontside left undecorated. The stone bearing an attractive interplay of pale yellow and dark brown tones, enriched with russet veining and natural inclusions.Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. According to the Myers ledger, this was acquired on 4 April 1997, and has been in the collection for 29 years.Condition: Very good condition with old surface wear and natural age-related imperfections. Distinct traces of weathering and erosion. Few minor nicks, shallow surface scratches, mostly to the underside, and occasional minute chips. Weight: 470.3 gDimensions: Diameter 13.7 cmThe present jade carving draws inspiration from the tradition of bronze mirrors, which began to be produced in China more than four millennia ago and functioned both as utilitarian objects and as funerary goods, attaining particular cultural and symbolic significance during the Tang dynasty (618-907). This example is ornamented with a motif of lions amidst grapevines, a decorative program that reflects the intensified cultural and artistic exchanges between China and regions beyond its borders during the seventh and eighth centuries. Lion imagery was introduced into China in conjunction with the transmission of Buddhism and became a prominent motif on Tang-period bronze mirrors, frequently combined with grapevine designs derived from Central Asian models associated with the importation of grape wine.Literature comparison:Compare a related bronze mirror with lion and grapevine, Tang dynasty, 618-907, 11.8 cm diameter, in the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art, accession number F1974.121. Compare a related high-tin bronze mirror with lions among grapevines, Tang dynasty, 7th-8th century, 23.5 cm diameter, in the Walters Art Museum, accession number 54.470.
