Full title: A Chinese gilt copper alloy 'rhinoceros' box and cover, TangDescription:Dia.: 7,5 cm - H.: 2,5 cm Provenance:- An old Belgian private collection. Ref.: Sotheby's, New York, Sep. 21, 2022, lot 330, for a similar example. (External link available on rm-auctions.com) In the Shang and early Zhou periods the rhinoceros was prized for its tough hide, which was used to make armour. By the Warring States period, if not earlier, belief had taken hold that the beast’s horn could detect, even neutralize, poison in food and drink, giving the rhinoceros special cachet. In fashioning armor, the hide - whether rhinoceros hide or leather from the hide of an ox or other animal - once dried and properly prepared, was cut into small rectangular strips, known as plates, that were linked together to form lamellar armor, often termed fish-scale armor in Chinese. Such armor no doubt resembled the lamellar armor worn by the terracotta warriors recovered from the trenches around the tomb of Qinshihuangdi (r. 221 - 210 BC), though the lamellar armor of Qinshihuang’s warriors surely had plates of leather or, more likely, of iron. With the gradual extinction of the rhinoceros in north China late in the Bronze Age (c. 1700 BC - AD 220) and with the rise of iron-plate armor during the Zhou, the use of rhinoceros-hide armor had seriously declined by the early years of our era; even so, it is believed that at least a little rhino-hide armor was still being made during the Tang dynasty. And a diagram in a book published in 1852 indicates that rhinoceros-hide armor was still in use for ceremonial purposes as late as the Qing dynasty. Without written records from the Tang clearly stating the reason, we cannot know why the rhinoceros is depicted with scales. Apart from mere artistic license, the most plausible explanation for so portraying the rhinoceros is that the beast had become conflated with the qilin in the thinking of the day. Indeed, some individuals believed the rhinoceros to be the qilin, a mythical hooved chimerical creature from Chinese mythology. (In the Ming dynasty the giraffe was believed by many to be the qilin.) Although often depicted with the lithe body and furred hide of a deer, the qilin is also frequently shown with scales over its body, as witnessed by the Yuan-dynasty (1279 - 1368), blue-and-white charger with qilin decor in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (AK-RBK-1965-88).Condition reports:Condition reports (unless otherwise specified above):Please contact us on info@rm-auctions.com to request a condition report.

A BRONZE FIGURE OF THE WILLOW-BRANCH GUANYIN, BHAISAJYARAJA AVALOKITESHVARA, DALI KINGDOM 大理國楊柳觀音銅像 China, Yunnan Province, 11th-12th century. Superbly cast standing on a double-lotus pedestal with beaded lower edge and foliage sprouting from the sides, her right hand raised holding a willow branch. She is richly adorned with an elaborate necklace and further beaded jewelry. Her serene face shows heavy-lidded eyes below gently arched brows, above full lips forming a calm smile. Her hair is pulled up into a high chignon behind the foliate tiara and falling elegantly in braided strands over the shoulders.Provenance: From the Collection R., Paris, France.Condition: The figure was broken in two pieces which have been reassembled, the hollow interior was reinforced accordingly, and the inside of the base has been resealed. Expected casting flaws, minor nicks and cracks, obvious losses, remnants of ancient gilt. The bronze is covered in a rich, naturally grown patina with distinct malachite and cuprite encrustations.Weight: 3,148 g Dimensions: Height 35.3 cm Created in the Dali Kingdom (937-1253), this sculpture and its congeners date to the late eleventh or early twelfth century. An independent, devoutly Buddhist kingdom in southwestern China, Dali was coeval with China's Song dynasty (907-1279) and more or less congruent with present-day Yunnan province. After the 902 fall of Nanzhao, an independent kingdom in southern China, and following the rapid rise and collapse of three successive states in the area, Duan Siping (893-944) seized power in 937 and established the dynastic Dali Kingdom. Unlike Nanzhao, which had had a contentious relationship with the Tang dynasty (618-907), Dali enjoyed cordial relations with the Song, which facilitated artistic and cultural exchange. Duan Siping, his heirs, and the people of Dali claimed to be ethnically Han Chinese, which facilitated relations with Song and which underlies the belief that Dali is a Chinese kingdom.In Chinese rather than in Indian iconographic conventions, images of Guanyin holding a willow branch and a vase are often termed Yangliu Guanyin, or Willow-Branch Guanyin. Images of the Willow-Branch Guanyin from the Dali Kingdom are sometimes also called Bhaisajyaraja Avalokiteshvara, a Sanskrit name that translates into Chinese as Yaowang, or Medicine King, a reference to the healing powers of the willow branch. Such images first appeared in the late 6th century, during the Sui dynasty (581-618), typically in gilt bronze. Thease early images established a typology that would be followed in later periods, particularly in the Dali Kingdom.The Sanskrit name Guanshiyin translates to '[The One Who] Perceives the Sounds of the World,' a reference to Guanyin's ability to hear both the cries of the afflicted and the prayers of supplicants. An earthly manifestation of the Buddha Amitabha, Guanyin guards the world during the interval between the departure of the Historical Buddha Shakyamuni and the appearance of Maitreya, the Buddha of the Future. Chapter 25, Guanshiyin Pusa Pumenpin, of the Lotus Sutra, the best-known of all Buddhist scriptures, describes Guanyin as a compassionate bodhisattva who hears the cries of sentient beings and who works tirelessly to help all those who call upon his name.Literature comparison:Compare a related gilt-bronze figure of Avalokitesvara from the Dali Kingdom in the Museum fuer Ostasiatische Kunst, Cologne, Germany, illustrated in Fojiao Diaosu Mingpin Tulu (Images of Famous Buddhist Sculpture), Beijing, 1997, pp. 375, no. 355.Auction result comparison: Type: Related Auction: Christie's New York, 22 March 2013, lot 1191 Price: USD 171,750 or approx.
