拍品描述
STATES PERIOD TO HAN DYNASTYChina, c. 4th-3rd century BC. Each belt hook finely cast, the gently curved, bronze shaft decorated with stylized phoenixes perched on rope-twist stems, inlaid with three circular jade medallions, each carved in high relief with additional mythical birds. Both ends of the bronze shaft modeled as taotie masks, their bulging eyes vividly inlaid with turquoise. Each hook likewise fashioned from jade, one carved as a ram head with elegantly curved horns, the other as an avian head with a prominent beak. The reverse fitted with circular buttons. The translucent stones of an even white tone, with cloudy inclusions and subtle russet mottling. (2)Provenance: The Collection of Sam and Myrna Myers, Paris, France. Acquired between circa 1965-2012.Condition: Very good condition, commensurate with age, with surface wear and expected signs of usage. Distinct traces of weathering and corrosion. Minor supplementation with period fragments cannot be ruled out. Occasional minor nicks, shallow surface scratches, as well as few minuscule chips and losses. The bronze surface with a rich, naturally grown patina with some areas of vibrant malachite encrustations.Weight: 667.9 g (total)Dimensions: Length 20.1 cm (each)Skillfully incorporating two distinctively different materials and transforming them into a functional work of art, the present belt hook demonstrates the high level of craftsmanship displayed by artisans during the late Eastern Zhou to Han dynasty.Literature comparison:Compare a related jade inset gilt-bronze 'dragon' belt hook, late Warring States period to Western Han dynasty, 475 BC-9 AD, 5.4 cm long, in the Smithsonian National Museum of Asian Art, accession number F1953.82.
