Glazed ceramic. Burma, Bagan Period, approx. 12th to 13th cent.
Very rare, up to three-fourths highly plastic ceramic panel with two figures. Noticeable here is the especially well-preserved glaze, as seldom to be found in early ceramic works! The piece comes presumably from one of the terraces of the main stupa in Bagan. Certainly one of the many depictions from the rich Jataka scenes (stories from Buddha′s early life, of which there were supposedly over 500, also births in animal form exist). Both creatures are glazed green, somewhat pot-bellied and carry animal heads, presum. of dogs. Above all, they are laughing merrily and look very alive, which is very well-crafted. The arms are raised over their heads, palms clapping. Their position is dance-like in movement, except for the apron they are naked, in one figure the breasts are at least suggested. Elegant mounting on acrylic glass.
