C. AD 618-907. Tang Dynasty. A large ceramic figurine of a Bactrian camel, also known as a Mongolian camel, with a rider. The beast features a sandy pelt, while its characteristic mane, beard and the air of its upper leg are picked out in a coral-red. It stands in a contrapposto pose, with its right leg foreleg forward, as if walking, and its head is thrown back as if bellowing. Atop its back is a saddle-pad with carefully delineated details, including a lantern on the left-hand side. The rider is a depicted as a plump, older man with a raised fist, who wears a knee-high boots, tight trousers and open-chested vest; he sports a neat beard and moustache, carefully picked out in black. The Bactrian camel is an exceptionally hardy beast of burden, easily able to cope in the harsh deserts of Central Asia which border China. The domestication of these creatures allowed the development of the ancient Silk Road, which transported people, ideas and luxury goods between China and the West, by crossing the massive and inhospitable terrain which divided them. This beautiful figurine probably reflects medieval Chinese respect for a beast without which such trade would not have been possible. The Tang dynasty ruled most of China between AD 618 and 907, and this period is widely viewed as an era of progress and stability, during which many scientific and artistic advances were made. Excellent condition. A similar item, albeit with a younger rider, recently sold at Christie’s for HKD 6,100,000, see https://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot/a-finely-painted-pottery-figure-of-a-6113490-details.aspx?from=searchresults&intObjectID=6113490 Size: L:610mm / W:440mm ; 9.4kg.

A pair of parcel gilt-bronze duck-shaped incense burners and coversMing DynastyEach finely cast in the shape of a duck with the head slightly raised as if calling out and small beady eyes framed by long sinuous feathers defining the round body supporting their gracefully curved slender necks, adorned with finely incised layers of triangular and circular feathers backed by a further array of feathers fanning out of their tail, all supported on a sturdy webbed foot, the other leg tucked underneath their stomach. Each 26cm (10 1/4in) high. (4).Footnotes:明 銅鎏金寶鴨式薰爐一對Incense burners shaped as ducks were made in China from at least the Han dynasty (206 BC-AD 220). See a bronze duck incense burner, Han dynasty, of similar form to the present piece, in the Portland Art Museum, illustrated by D.Jenkins, Mysterious Spirits, Strange Beasts, Earthly Delights: Early Chinese Art from the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Collection, Portland, 2005, pp.80-81.During the Ming dynasty, incense burners in the form of ducks appear to have been popular. The 'One Hundred Lyric Poems of the Yuan Court' (Yuan gong ci yibai shou 元宮詞一百首) by Zhu Youdun (朱有燉), dated 1406, mentions 'The gold duck burns the remaining midnight fragrance; Only then do the ladies of the Imperial family try on the Yue-woven skirts'. A further poem by the Ming scholar and Grand Secretary, Jin Youzi (金幼孜 1368-1431), included in 'Viewing Lanterns on the Lantern Festival' (Yuanxi ci wumen guandeng 元夕賜午門觀燈) and recorded in the Jin wen jing ji, vol.4 in Qianding siku quanshu, mentions that, on the occasion of the banquet held by the emperor during the Lantern Festival at the beginning of the Ming dynasty, 'Auspicious portents of lovely smoke rose forth from the golden duck censers'. This poem clearly suggests that gilt-bronze duck incense burner were used at court banquets from as early as the beginning of the 15th century.See a related bronze duck incense burner, Ming dynasty, in the Tokugawa Art Museum Collection, Nagoya, illustrated in The Shogun Age Exhibition: From the Tokugawa Art Museum, Japan, Tokyo, 1983, p.107.Compare with a related bronze 'duck' incense burner, Ming dynasty, which was sold at Bonhams New York, 16 September 2013, lot 8103.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
A fine white and grey jade carving of a boy on hobby-horse17th/18th century Deftly carved as a standing boy with finely incised patch of hair atop his pate, carrying a spray of lotus in his right hand extending over his back, his left hand holding the reins of a hobby-horse between his legs, the stone of pale white tone with a grey patch. 8.5cm (3 3/8in) high. Footnotes:十七/十八世紀 白玉雕騎竹馬童子擺件Provenance: Gerard Arnhold (1918-2010) Born in 1918 in Dresden, Germany, Gerard Arnhold was from a well-known family of Jewish philanthropists. His family left Germany in 1936, after the Nazis came to power and seized their assets. He served in the British Army during the Second World War, before starting a successful technology company in Brazil. He and his family supported rebuilding efforts in Germany and many charitable causes, always working anonymously. Arnhold was also a generous supporter of the Durham Oriental Museum for many years.來源:Gerard Arnhold(1918-2010年)Gerard Arnhold,1918年出生於德國德累斯頓的著名猶太慈善家族。 1936年,在納粹上台並沒收其家族財產後,全家離開德國。他曾於第二次世界大戰期間效力於英軍,之後在巴西成功創立了一家科技公司。二戰後,Gerard及其家人長期匿名支持德國重建工作及其他慈善事業,他也是達勒姆東方博物館的長期捐贈者。Images of boys playing with a hobby horse form part of the popular 'boys at play' and 'Hundred Boys' subjects that emerged during the Song dynasty. This theme is symbolic of the Confucian ideal for the education and advancement of many sons, a wish further emphasised by the lotus (lian 蓮) he carries which is a homophone of 'continuous' (lian 連) and creates the rebus 'May you continuously give birth to sons'. As the boy is depicted riding a hobby-horse, this conveys the further wish for it to come quickly as 'to be on top of a horse' (mashang 馬上) means 'immediately'.Compare with a similarly finely-carved figure, but holding a rattle instead of a lotus stem, in the Museum of East Asian Art, Bath, (museum no.BATEA 1218); and a related figure of a boy holding a lantern on a pole, from the collection of Florence and Herbert Irving and now in the Metropolitan Museum, New York (acc.no.2015.500.5.14).For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
