Description
Bronze, gold, silver, China. Warring States style to early western Han
An unusually elaborately designed hook gou with the typically curved, spoon shaped form and narrow neck ending in a dragon’s head. Executed with optimal craftsmanship, the body depicts a peculiar, mystical creature with expressive, horned head, clawed legs and winding tail. Possibly, another creature on the middle of the back. Very impressive are the many gold or silver inlays: geometric forms, eyes, claws and hooks. On the bottom is the typical stud in the form of a mushroom with delicately inlaid spirals as well as green patina. Completely preserved.
Expertise: Wolfmar Zacken
Provenance: From an Austrian collection
Dimensions: LENGTH 15 CM
