拍品描述
A CHINESE BONE ‘TAOTIE’ PENDANT, SHANG DYNASTY

China, 1600 to 1046 BC. Carved as a tooth, the handle crisply incised to one side with a taotie mask framed by archaic scroll, drilled at the center with a small aperture for suspension.

Provenance: The present lot was part of an important collection of archaic Chinese works of art, built by three generations of the Chasseloupe-Laubat family in France. Prosper de Chasseloup-Laubat (1805-1873), was a prominent aristocrat, politician, and art collector who became Minister of the French Navy and the Colonies under Napoleon III, traveling extensively though all of Asia. His son Louis (1863-1954), an engineer in ship design, significantly expanded the family collection, also during his frequent travels throughout Asia. Fran?ois (1904-1968), Prosper’s grandson, eventually inherited the family passion and became a renowned explorer and participant in the Hoggar Expedition. He was the first French explorer to reach English Malaysia, bringing back previously unpublished documents on the isolated Sakai tribes. As a collector, Fran?ois Chasseloupe-Laubat was advised by Jean Claude Moreau-Gobard, an important French collector and dealer specializing in Asian art. A label ‘46’ to the back.
Condition: Good condition, commensurate with age, age-related cracks, small losses, nibbling, light scratches, and encrustations.
French Export License: Certificat d’exportation pour un bien culturel Nr. 243196 dated 3 October 2023 has been granted and a copy is accompanying this lot.

Weight: 30 g
