Acher Eskenasy is a noted French scholar and collector of Asian and tribal art. Major works previously owned by him are now in important collections and museums, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris. Martin Doustar is a Brussels-based art dealer and collector whose career spans more than two decades. He began his professional journey in the early 2000s with a focus on Modern Art, developing a keen interest in the ways early twentieth-century artists were influenced by 'primitive' art from Africa and Oceania. Over time, his connoisseurship expanded into archaeological and ethnographic fields, with particular expertise in the ancient arts of the Pacific, Africa, and pre-Columbian America, while also encompassing Asian material culture and modern masterpieces. He is the author of numerous scholarly catalogs and has organized thematic exhibitions on a wide range of subjects. Condition: Overall in stable condition in keeping with its antiquity. Marked surface wear, extensive burial accretions, corrosion, areas of bronze fatigue with slight warping and fissures, and old repairs—entirely consistent with excavated material of the Warring States period. The bronze with a rich, naturally grown patina with extensive malachite and cuprite encrustations particularly to the reverse.Weight: 60 g Dimensions: Length 11.5 cmWith an associated metal stand. (2)This fine ornament is a type of decoration commonly found in steppe burials and once adorned the front of a nomadic individual's robe. Plaques in the shapes of animals, in particular of tigers, are common in the peripheral areas of China. Indeed, these tigers from the steppe area resemble the creatures on the gold bands from the Ziwiye hoard, uncovered in Kurdistan. This tiger motif was to penetrate deep in China, and make a powerful impact.
