描述

  • ceramics
skilfully modelled in the form of a lion sitting on its haunches with the front right leg bent and paw resting on a brocade ball, the beast portrayed in a ferocious poise with piercing eyes below the thick bushy eyebrows, its mouth rendered slightly agape and revealing the tip of its upturned tongue, above three locks of beard trailing onto its collar, the reverse realistically depicted with pronounced ribs flanking its long bushy tail, the figure covered overall with a translucent olive-green glaze pooling to a deeper tone in the recesses

Condition

The lion is in structural good condition, with minor condition issues including chips to the tips of the lion's ears and a faint Y-shaped starcrack measuring approx. 1.5 cm to the lion's central lock of beard. The sides of the 'base', possibly previously an incense burner cover, have been broken off with just minute losses to the figure's paws. Other general surface wear and bruising.
