RARE BIXIE EN JADE VERT PLE ET ROUILLEÉpoque des Six Dynasties (265 -589 ap. J.-C)A VERY RARE PALE GREEN AND RUSSET JADE CARVING OF A BIXIE Six Dynasties (265-589AD)The creature resting on its front paws, the rear right haunch tucked underneath the body and the rear left extended to reach the bifurcated tail, the powerful face carved with wide bulging eyes below a pair of thick curling eyebrows and horns directed back across the head, with part open mouth and beard issuing from the lower jaw, the body delicately incised with scrolling wing motifs and scrolls to the rear haunches, three parallel incised markings to the back to simulate the fur, the softly polished stone of pale whitish hue to the back and creamy russet tone to the body and head, with russet markings to one side of the head and rear haunch. 10.5cm (4 1/8in) long.Footnotes:Provenance:Robert Rousset, Paris (1901-1981), acquired prior to 1935Jean-Pierre Rousset, Paris (1936-2021) Bixie ('auspicious beast') were the female guardians of treasure brought back by male Tianlu who went out into the world in search of gold. the function of these lifelike sculptures made from durable materials was to embody and pacify the elemental and supernatural forces of the living world. Large stone figures of ferocious beasts including lions and tigers, and imaginary winged figures, were all placed on the spirit avenues in tombs of emperors and high ranking officials and military commanders, a tradition that flourished and reached its peak during the Six Dynasties, when immense fabulous beasts drawn from the spiritual world were produced on a grand scale outside the tombs near Nanjing. Simultaneously, an artistic tradition of creating jade animals of the highest quality flourished. In contrast to the majority of earlier two-dimensional jade carvings, made for the afterlife or to adorn the individual, these figural sculptures were created in the round as independent objects, not just as sumptuous display items for the appreciation of the elite, but also to provide the owner with a constant and concrete realisation of the powerful supernatural forces latent in the world around.Jade bixie of the Six Dynasties unlike the earlier ones made during the Han dynasty, appear to display less movement in their carving. Compare a jade fitting in the form of a bixie, Eastern Han dynasty, illustrated by J.Rawson, Chinese Jade from the Neolithic to the Qing, London, 1995, p.353, fig.6; and see also another example, Wei/Jin dynasty, illustrated in Compendium of Collections in the Palace Museum: Jade 4 Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Beijing, 2011, no.299. See a related jade carving of a mythical beast, Six Dynasties, illustrated by J.Rawson and J.Ayers, Chinese Jade throughout the Ages, London, 1975, no.186. A further Six Dynasties jade bixie from the collection of Dr and Mrs Cheng Te-k'un, is illustrated by J.Watt, Chinese Jade from Han to Ch'ing, New York, 1980, pl.12.A related beige and russet jade bixie, Han dynasty/Six Dynasties, was sold at Sotheby's New York, 21 September 2021, lot 46.Les bixie (« bêtes auspicieuses ») étaient les gardiennes (femelles) des trésors rapportés par les tianlu (mâles) qui parcouraient le monde à la recherche d'or. La fonction de ces sculptures très vivantes faites dans des matières durables était d'incarner et pacifier les forces fondamentales et surnaturelles du monde vivant. De grandes sculptures en pierre de bêtes féroces, dont des lions, tigres et bêtes ailées imaginaires, étaient placées sur les Voies des Esprits menant aux tombes des empereurs, haut-fonctionnaires et chefs militaires : cette tradition se développa et atteignit son apogée durant l'époque des Six Dynasties, lorsque d'immenses créatures fantastiques venues du monde des esprits furent réalisées à grande échelle à l'extérieur des tombes près de Nankin.Parallèlement se développa une sculpture de grande qualité d'animaux en jade. Contrairement à la majorité des sculptures en jade plus anciennes en deux dimensions, servant d'ornement personnel ou pour l'au-delà, ces sculptures étaient réalisées en ronde-bosse comme objets indépendants, non seulement en tant qu'œuvres d'apparat somptueuses, destinées à être appréciées des élites, mais aussi comme rappel concret et constant à leur propriétaire des puissantes forces surnaturelles latentes dans le monde qui l'entoure.A la différence des bixie plus anciens faits durant la dynastie Han, les bixie en jade des Six Dynasties semblent montrer moins de mouvement dans leur sculpture. Comparer avec un ornement en jade en forme de bixie, dynastie des Han orientaux, illustré dans J. Rawson, Chinese Jade from the Neolithic to the Qing, London, 1995, p.353, fig.6 ; voir aussi un autre exemple, dynastie Wei/Jin, illustré dans Compendium of Collections in the Palace Museum: Jade 4 Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Beijing, 2011, no.299.

TÊTE DE DIVINITÉ MASCULINE EN GRÈSCambodge, époque angkorienne, style de Pré Rup, Xe siècleA SANDSTONE HEAD OF MALE DEITYCambodia, Angkor Period, style of Pre Rup, 10th centuryThe eyebrow arches come together in a single soft line, the nostrils slightly flared, eyes defined with a delicate line and fleshy mouth with a very slight smile and faint suggestion of a moustache. Two bands of hair protrude from the diadem descending on the temples to continue with a beard defined as a dotted line, finishing in a point at the centre of the chin. The elongated earlobes are pierced and may have been adorned with cast metal pendants. The head is adorned with a royal diadem carved to imitate a real gold example that was attached at the back by ribbons tied in a square knot, stand. 36.5cm (14 3/8in) high. (2).Footnotes:Provenance:Robert Rousset, Paris (1901-1981), acquired from Capital Antique, Bangkok, 13 January 1966Jean-Pierre Rousset, Paris (1936-2021)This larger-than-life head has a softer, more naturalistic and serene face than that of the earlier style of the Koh Kher. Pre Rup is a Hindu temple at Angkor, Cambodia, built for the Khmer king Rajendravarman (reigned 944-968) and dedicated in 961 or early 962. This powerfully carved head reflects the concept of the God-King (Deva-Raja), a system of statecraft that originated in India but was taken to new heights during the Khmer Empire (802–1437 CE). Despite being consecrated under the protection of the Hindu deity Shiva, the Khmer identified most closely with Vishnu, preserver of universal order. In fact, the deity often took on the likeness of individual Khmer rulers.Compare with the facial features on standing Vishnu in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (M.76.19). Also compare with a closely related head in the Minneapolis Institute of Art (69.86.1) and another in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (26.13). A head of similar scale with a variant to the diadem was sold at Sotheby's New York, 24 March 2011, lot 28.Cette tête plus grande que nature présente un visage plus doux, plus naturaliste et plus serein que celui du style antérieur du Koh Kher. Le Pre Rup est un temple hindou à Angkor au Cambodge, construit pour le roi khmer Rajendravarman (règne 944-968) et consacré en 961 ou début 962. Cette tête puissamment sculptée reflète le concept du Roi-Dieu (Deva-Raja), un système de gouvernement originaire de l'Inde qui a atteint des sommets sous l'Empire khmer (802-1437 de notre ère). Bien qu'ils aient été consacrés sous la protection de la divinité hindoue Shiva, les Khmers s'identifiaient plus étroitement à Vishnu, protecteur de l'ordre universel. En effet, la divinité prenait souvent l'apparence de certains souverains khmers.Comparer aux traits du visage de Vishnu debout du Los Angeles County Museum of Art (M.76.19). Comparé également avec une tête stylistiquement proche conservée au Minneapolis Institute of Art (69.86.1) et une autre au Musée des beaux-arts, Boston (26.13). Une tête de taille similaire avec une variante du diadème a été vendue chez Sotheby's New York, 24 mars 2011, lot 28.柬埔寨 吳哥時期 比粒寺風格 十世紀 砂岩像首來源：巴黎Robert Rousset（1901-1981）舊藏, 於1966年1月13日得自曼谷Capital古董店巴黎Jean-Pierre Rousset（1936-2021）舊藏與科克早期風格相比，此像首比例比真人稍大，神態更顯柔和、自然及安詳。比粒寺是位於柬埔寨吳哥的一座印度教寺廟，為高棉國王拉金陀羅跋摩（944-968 在位）建造，並於961年或962年初祝獻。這尊有力度的雕刻像首體現了「神聖統治者」（德瓦拉哈）的天神概念，起源於印度的一種治國之道，至高棉帝國時期（802至1437年間）發展至更高峰。雖受印度教神濕婆護蔭，高棉人更推崇負責維繫宇宙秩序者毘濕奴。實際上，該神祇造像常參照高棉統治者的形象而製。 比較一例毘濕奴立像的面部特徵，藏於洛杉磯縣藝術博物館 (M.76.19) 。比較另一例與本尊緊密相關的像首，藏於明尼阿波利斯藝術學院（69.86.1），及另一例藏於波士頓美術館（26.13）。又見一例比例相約，皇冠稍有變化，售於紐約蘇富比，2011年3月24日，編號28。For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
