拍品描述
A LARGE SILVER REPOUSSé GOBLET DEPICTING THE ABDUCTION OF WOMEN, ANCIENT REGION OF GANDHARA, CIRCA 1ST-4TH CENTURYThe large vessel raised on a short circular foot and rising to a gently flaring mouth, the waisted sides decorated to the exterior with a continuous pillage scene depicting three soldiers armed with shields and spikes kidnapping women dressed in fine garments, their heavily pleated garments coming undone as the militia drags them away, a horse in the midst with one hoof raised, its head sharply turned to the back as it neighs. A solitary figure dressed in voluminous robes gently prods the ankle of a soldier with a large staff, appearing to distract him, so the woman can set herself free and escape.Provenance: The Collection of a Central Asian Royal Family, by the mid-1990s. The collection of The Zelnik István Southeast Asian Gold Museum, acquired from the above in Paris, France, and held in the collection for over 30 years. 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. In December 2025, he was awarded medals of national recognition by the Royal Government of Cambodia for his exceptional contributions to the scientific study, preservation, and international understanding of Angkor and Koh Ker. Zelnik founded the Hungarian Southeast Asian Institute in the early 2000s. The Institute supported a range of research programs at Angkor and Koh Ker, including archaeological surveys, light detection and ranging ( LiDAR) investigations, epigraphic studies, and historical research. These efforts have contributed to a deeper understanding of the Angkorian empire, the pre-Angkor period, and Cambodia's prehistoric times. Research supported by the institute played a key role in raising international awareness of Koh Ker and led to its inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List.Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age, showing expected ancient wear, signs of prolonged burial, weathering and corrosion, encrustations, tarnish, some warping, dents, dings, minor losses, as well as small tears and cracks. Considering its considerable age of at least 1,600 years, the object is exceptionally well preserved. It essentially remains in an entirely original and untreated, as-found state—an uncommon circumstance in itself. The surface patina is stable and well developed.Weight: 1,261 gDimensions: Height 16.8 cmLiterature comparison:Compare a related silver repoussé medallion, Roman or Gandhara, dated circa late 1st century BC-early 1st century AD, at Christie's New York, 14 September 2010, lot 43.
