Lot 284 | Bronzebeschlag in Form eines Tigerkopfes
A BRONZE FITTING WITH A TIGER HEAD - China, later Eastern Zhou dynasty - The excellently modeled tiger head with bared teeth and steeply erected ears ends in a support at the vertical end plate, which is provided with six perforations and probably served to attach it to an object that cannot be determined now. - Important Austrian private collection, acquired in the 1980s from Susan Chen in Hong Kong Publ. Zeileis: "From Shang to Qing - Three and a Half Millennia of Chinese Bronze," 1999, no. 112, p. 312. According to Rawson/Bunker, Ancient Chinese and Ordos Bronzes, Hong Kong 1990, p.194, no.105, where two similar fittings are cited, but with divergent perforations, they were used as connectors on chariots. This excellently executed tiger could have had its function on the axle (in a clearly visible place), judging by the concave underside Partially green corroded, traces of age
