PALACE LION WITH BALL
Bronze with lacquer gilding. China, late Qing dynasty, approx. 19th cent.
Very expressive imperious shizi, as they are seen at the stairs of Beijing’s imperial palace, and also inspired by them. The lion is sitting wide-legged with extended claws, one paw on the borcade ball. Around the chest, a decorative belt, holding the mask of a mythical animal and bells. Fierce expression on the head, horns for ears, a spiralling mane. A bow tied on the back, as if it were a well-behaved puppy, the tail with bushy-flaming tip. Good condition, complete, also the lacquer gilding for the most part.
HEIGHT 14,5 CM
From a German private collection

Starting price: 1,400

PALASTLÖWE MIT BALL
Bronze mit Lackvergoldung. China, späte Qing-Dynastie, ca. 19. Jh.
Sehr ausdrucksvoll herrischer Shizi, wie sie an Aufgängen im Kaiserpalast von Peking zu sehen sind und diese Darstellung von diesen auch inspiriert ist. Der Löwe sitzt breitbeinig mit ausgefahrenen Krallen, eine Pranke liegt auf dem Brokatball. Um die Brust ein Zierband mit Fabeltiermaske und Schelle. Grimmvoller Ausdruck im Kopf, die Ohren gleich Hörnern, die Mähne spiralig. Rückseits eine Masche wie bei einem artigen Hündchen, der Schweif mit buschig-flammendem Ende. Gute komplette Erhaltung, großteils auch der Lackvergoldung.
