- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Han Dynasty, ca. 206 BCE to 220 CE. A hand-built pottery plaque of a fabulous style depicting finely detailed registers of curvilinear, avian, and leonine motifs. The rectangular plaque has a raised exterior border surrounding a program of black-painted scrolls atop a vermilion ground that is separated from eight intricate birds with a yellow-green border. Another slender border surrounds the central, green-hued panel that contains a pair of intimidating lion-like creatures with gaping jaws, red eyes, and curled tails. The spaces surrounding the birds and lions are filled with white-painted curvilinear and pointillist motifs. An attractive and unusual example of fine Han-era artistry! Size: 20.5" L x 14.25" W (52.1 cm x 36.2 cm)
Accompanied by the results of Oxford Authentication thermoluminescence test #C101t74, dated August 17, 2001, stating the results are consistent with the suggested age of manufacture.
