CHINESE HAN DYNASTY TERRACOTTA DOG - TL TESTED
Ca. 202 BC - AD 220. A terracotta figure of a dog depicted seated with an upright posture, forelegs straight and rear legs bent beneath a compact, muscular body. The head is raised with an open mouth revealing incised teeth and tongue. Bulging, circular eyes are set beneath defined eyelids, giving the face an alert expression. The upright ears are large and pointed, with red pigment preserved in the inner surfaces. A pair of broad, flaring panels extend downwards along the sides of the head, suggesting stylised tufts of fur. Short, vertical grooves mark the paws, and the tail curves outward. Size: 490mm x 385mm; Weight: 6.11kg Provenance: UK private collection; formerly acquired in the early 1990s in Hong Kong. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter. This piece has been precisely dated using a thermoluminescence analysis carried out by Ralf Kotalla. The report will accompany the lot.
