Height: 17.3cm, Length: 19.5cm Depicted standing four square with a cylindrical filler on the centre of its back into which water can be poured. Bears('xiong') have always held a special place in Chinese culture. The Yellow Emperor, the foremost of the 'Five Emperors', is also known as 'You Xiong' (having bears). Legend states that Gun, the great grandson of the Yellow Emperor, was sent to control the floods of the Yellow River. He determined the solution to be a magical dike, only possible with special self-growing soil. This, he stole from the Emperor of the Sky. Not only was his plan a failure, his theft soon cost him his life. Years later, villagers noticed an odd transformation taking place. They looked on as Gun’s lifeless corpse evolved into a yellow bear and ran away, disappearing into the forest mountains. Yu, son of Gun, later tamed the Yellow River floods, when he transformed himself into a bear and bored a drainage tunnel through a mountain. The earliest examples of bear-shaped artefacts include pottery and jade artworks from the Hongshan culture. A reddish-brown pottery bear jar, excavated at Chahai, Fuxin, Liaoning, is now at Chaoyang Defu Museum. For an example of a bear in jade, see lncredible Treasures: E-Kuan-Tao Museum, Sanyi Culture, 2006, p.119. Some scholars believe that such objects are evidence of bear worship in ancient times.

Height: 17.5cm, Length: 32.5cm The two heads may represent Nüwa and Fuxi holding hands. Both have their arms outstretched. The hair of each is depicted in a chignon typical of the dynasty. Nüwa is the mother goddess of Chinese mythology, the sister and wife of Fuxi, the emperor-god. They were described as having snake-like tails. Many mythological Chinese deities have a human face and a snake-like body. For example, The Classic of Mountains and Seas contains more than descriptions of such deities. Neolithic Jade carvings of double-headed snake-form figure were excavated in Shijiahe site. In Han Dynasty, influenced by yin and yang, snake-form Nüwa and Fuxi figures became popular in tomb ceramics. People started to put double-headed snake-form figures in tombs in Northern Qi Dynasty. The phenomenon reached its peak in Tang Dynasty, and continued to Song Dynasty. Oxford TL test consistent with Tang Dynasty, sample C120d47 Provenance: The Professor Conrad Harris Collection
