Lally & Co.，《Chinese Archaic Jades and Bronzes from the Estate of Professor Max Loehr and Others》，紐約，1993年，編號11Professor Max Loehr (1903-1988) was one of the most pre-eminent Western scholars of early Chinese art. His research embraced archaic jades, bronzes and classical Chinese paintings. Loehr was appointed curator of the Asian collections at the Museum für Völkerkunde in Munich in 1936, after obtaining his PhD in Far Eastern art at the University of Munich. In 1940, Loehr moved to Beijing and soon after was appointed director of the Sino-German Institute, where he remained until 1947 when he joined the faculty of Qinghua University until his return to Germany in 1949. During his time in China, Loehr put together a formidable collection of archaic jade and hardstone carvings, a slightly academic collecting area but one that linked to his interests and research in Chinese archaeology. In 1951, Loehr subsequently moved to the US, first accepting a professorship at the University of Michigan, and in 1960 becoming the first Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Professor and Curator of Oriental Art at the Fogg Museum at Harvard University until his retirement in 1974.Top left blade: Compare with a serpentine axe excavated from Sipo village in Lantian County, Xi'an, in 1986, illustrated in Fuxi Sun, Xi'an Wenwu Jinghua Yuqi, Xi'an, 2004, p.20.

A large 17th century or possibly earlier European steel axe head. 29 cm wide.

Bronze South-India , 17th century Dimensions: Height 53 cm by 25 cm Weight: 10444 grams Hindu god Shiva in his form as Chandrashekhara, or Lord of the Crescent Moon. The figure has four arms, the upper two holding a battle axe and a prancing deer, the lower two making gestures of reassurance and teaching. The figure wears his hair piled high in the chignon of matted locks that identifies Shiva, with curling locks draping over his shoulders in the back. A crescent moon is just visible at the front of the chignon, pointing upward. The figure stands on a flaring lotus base with round holes pierced through the front and back to attach the sculpture to a litter or cart for transport during temple processions. Shiva Chandrashekhara is worshipped primarily in southern India, where he is often displayed with his consort, Parvati. The straight posture of this icon suggests that it was either worshipped without a consort image (couples often lean in toward one another) or that the consort image was cast and displayed somewhat separately. The battle axe and deer make reference to an episode in which Shiva was attacked by non-believers and he caught both the weapon they threw at him and the wild stag that they sent to attack him. The deer became one of his great devotees and it represents the gods role as Lord of Animals. Bronze icons were made for display and worship on shrine altars inside temples but were often displayed during temple processions as well, and were occasionally transported to different temple buildings on special occasions. Bronze casting reached an apex in India in the tenth century under the patronage of the Chola dynasty of Tamil Nadu. Although masterful bronzes were made in this area for several centuries thereafter, those made in the tenth century are particularly prized for their balance of organic and ornamental qualities.
