A Chinese finely carved hardwood brush pot,Qing dynasty (1644-1911), possibly huanghuali, of tapering cylindrical form, deeply carved with a continuous scene depicting Han Xin on horseback being pursued by Xiao He and his attendants from behind tall rocks,18cm high, fitted wood stand, overall 23cm highProvenance: A private English collection in Gloucestershire.Han Xin (died 196 BC) was a military general who served Liu Bang (died 195 BC), assisting him in establishing the Han dynasty.At first Han Xin's talents were not recognised and he was merely put in charge of food supplies. Frustrated by this, Han Xin deserted, but Liu Bang's minister, Xiao He (died 193 BC), acknowledged Han Xin's competence and pursued him in the middle of the night, convincing him to continue in his service of Liu Bang's quest to unify China and in the foundation of the Han dynasty. This popular tale, recorded in Sima Qian's Shiji (Records of the Grand Historian), became one of the widely used designs among narrative scenes taken from historical texts, novels and dramas reproduced on porcelain wares during the 17th century.
