拍品描述

China, 618-907. The back is cast with six lions amid grapevines in high relief around the pierced and domed knob, encircled by a raised ridge with a neatly beaded edge, the outer field with four birds and four lions amid vines, all within a band of foliate scroll and a second beaded edge.

Provenance: From a French private collection.
Condition: Excellent condition with minor wear and casting flaws, signs of weathering, few minuscule nicks and dents, and occasional light scratches and losses. Fine, naturally grown patina with areas of intense malachite encrustation.

Weight: 1,424 g
Dimensions: Diameter 18 cm, Thickness 13 mm

The lion designs were first seen on bronze mirrors upon the introduction of Buddhism into China, and became very popular in the Tang period.

Literature comparison: Compare two very large examples (24 cm diam.) with similar decoration in the Shanghai Museum, illustrated in Shanghai Bowuguan cang qingtong jing, Shanghai, 1987, pls. 84-85.

Auction result comparison: Compare a closely related silvered bronze mirror (17.7 cm diameter), also dated to the Tang dynasty and of similar form and decoration, at Christie's New York in Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art on 22 March 2013, lot 1142, sold for USD 47,500. Note this mirror shows minute differences to the present lot, namely the animal-form knob, the detailed spines on the animals' backs, and the lack of the neatly beaded edges.
