Description
Presented is a gorgeous crouching (ready to pounce) Jaguar effigy statue extensively inlaid with scrolled decorations of copper wire and silver studs. Excellent condition with old original patina. Although we do not know the exact age, based on the style and quality craftmanship, it is our assessment that it is most probably of the Tang Dynasty, and possibly even earlier. Measures 4 1/4" long x 2" tall and weighs a hefty 338 grams (that is right at 12 ounces!!!!). Rare opportunity to collect an important early Chinese extremely detailed bronze.
