A BRONZE ‘GOAT’ CENSER, YUAN TO EARLY MING DYNASTY

China, circa 13th-15th century. Finely cast as a striding goat atop an openworked rectangular base decorated with a bat to each side. The animal’s head turned towards the right, its mouth agape revealing a set of sharp teeth, further detailed with flaring nostrils, bulging eyes, and a neatly incised beard, its back with a large aperture.

Provenance: Peter Sloane, London, 2018. A Portuguese private collection, acquired from the above.
Condition: Very good condition with some old wear and expected casting irregularities. Traces of use, light scratches, minor losses, small dents, few small structural cracks, and old repairs. The cover lost. The bronze with a dark patina.

Weight: 3,4 kg
Dimensions: Height 26.7 cm

The character for sheep or goat, yang, appeared as early as the Han dynasty as a pun for the character xiang, meaning auspicious or lucky. By the Ming period, the image of sheep had become heavily associated with yang, another homophone but signifying the sun or warm, positive, masculine force in Chinese cosmology.
