Lot 119

A Chinese Gilt Bronze Belt Hook, Han Dynasty, in the form of a coiled archaic dragon, the hook as another dragon`s head, inlaid with various hardstones including carnelian, turquoise, jade, lapis lazuli and chalcedony, 17.2cm long Sold with An Analysis and Metallorphy Report by Dr Peter Northover, Oxford University, concluding the composition of this belt hook can be paralleled in the Han Dynasty, but it is decidedly uncommon. However, the samples showed good evidence of natural long term corrosion so we may accept this belt hook as ancient and authentic. Some typical surface corrosion and wear, with minor chipping and losses to the stone inlay. 071014
