A HORSE-FORM BRONZE RHYTON, CENTRAL ASIA, C. 1000 AD
Scientific Analysis Report: A copy of an Expert Report from Antiques Analytics – Institute of Scientific Authenticity Testing, test report number AA 22-10021, dated 11 March 2022, written and signed by Dr. R. Neunteufel, accompanies this lot. The alloy components of the present lot have been analyzed via atomic emission spectrometry of a sample dissolved in mineral acid. Findings include a zinc content of 5.6% (rare for objects from the period), a low arsenic content of 0.02% (could indicate a refinement of raw copper, speaking for a later period of manufacture), and a tin content of 5.7% (lower than usually found in Central Asian bronzes of the period). The report concludes that the findings do not decisively contradict the suggested period of manufacture.

The horn-shaped beaker with fluted sides below a neatly incised wave band and the gently everted rim. The separately cast horse and rhyton are connected by a raised cuff. The muscular animal shows bent forelegs just below a small filler neck, further detailed with pricked ears, almond-shaped eyes, a prominent muzzle, and a short mane. The bronze with a superb, naturally grown and professionally stabilized patina with malachite encrustation.

Provenance: The collection of The Zelnik István Southeast Asian Gold Museum. Institutional art collection in Belgium, acquired from the above. 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.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age. Wear, losses, minor dents and nicks, light scratches, encrustations, signs of weathering and corrosion. The patina was stabilized with a layer of varnish some time ago. A drilled hole from sample-taking.

Dimensions: Height 24.5 cm
