Lot 250 | Zwei feine Bronzegriffe oder Abschlüsse mit Silbereinlagen
TWO FINE SILVER-INLAID BRONZE FITTINGS - China, Warring States period (475 - 221 BC) - Both pieces, which perhaps belong together, at least allegedly found together, show oval cross-section, which, however, (at least in the case of the Dun) may have been caused by the collapse of the tomb. The handle has a circumferential profiled band below the center, with two small holes below it, presumably for attachment to a shaft. In the upper part the cast clay core is still preserved. However, it is not clear whether the second piece could be the (as often indicated, rounded, consequently blunt) tip of a jewelry spear or the end piece of a scepter, perhaps also from the fitting of a hinge. Cast bronze, green patina and silver inlays. - Important Austrian private collection, acquired in the 1980s Publ. Zeileis: 'From Shang to Qing - Three and a Half Millennia of Chinese Bronze', 1999, no. 128, p. 336. Cf. Eskenazi, London, 'Inlaid Bronze and related Material from pre-Tang China', 1991, pl. 35 - Christie's New York 'The Harris Collection: Important Early Chinese Art'16.5.2017, lot 872.
