拍品描述
Far East, China, Han Dynasty, ca. 206 BCE to 220 CE. A proud pup with a strong, protective stance and a fierce disposition, made from unglazed baked terracotta. During the Han Dynasty, such ceramic dog statues were used as a tomb guardians to protect the master's grave. All Han Dynasty pottery dogs were formed by two-part moulds. Once the main form was attained, details such as eyebrows and whiskers were added. We see more dogs appearing in the later Han period, frequently in tombs. This is most likely because during this period the landed gentry lived on large estates and needed dogs to keep guard. The dog also makes an appearance on jade carvings of hounds during this the Han Dynasty; hence, dogs may have been cherished as a status symbol. With an alert head and all four legs squarely set, this guardian dog most likely belonged to an elite individual worthy of such devout protection! Size: 11.5" L x 9" H (29.2 cm x 22.9 cm)

Provenance: Acquired in England in the 1970’s from an old English collection; ex-Ancient Art International, FL.
