漢 青銅獸面紋出戟尊

拍品描述

英文品名：A HAN BRONZE ZUN WITH BEAST-MASK DESIGN AND FLANGES 尺寸：H:30cm 青銅。尊式，侈口束頸，鼓腹高圈足，頸腹四面出戟。頸部飾蕉葉與獸面紋，腹部飾獸面、雲雷紋，紋樣古樸。器表青綠鏽與土黃鏽交織，為漢代銅禮器形制。獸面紋（饕餮）、雲雷紋與出戟，皆商周青銅禮器的典型紋飾：饕餮取威嚴驚懼之意，象徵通神的威儀；雲雷紋回環連綿，象徵天地間的雷風雲雨；四面出戟，則標示器體的莊嚴軸線，使禮器在宗廟陳列時分外肅穆。漢代銅器承三代禮器遺制，以陶範法澆鑄，分範合範，紋飾鑄後再加鏨刻，故線條古拙有力。此尊獸面、雲雷、蕉葉相間，出戟挺秀，置於廳堂或書齋，猶存三代鐘鼎之氣象。 A bronze zun of the Han period, with an everted mouth, waisted neck, bulging body and tall foot, flanges at four sides. The neck is decorated with banana-leaf and beast-mask patterns; the body carries beast-mask and thunder patterns. Green and earth-yellow patina cover the surface. The taotie beast-mask, thunder pattern and flanges are all typical ornaments of ancient ritual bronzes: the taotie conveys awe and the dignity of communication with the spirits; the interlocking thunder pattern evokes the winds and rains of heaven and earth; the flanges at the four corners mark the solemn axis of the vessel as it is displayed in the ancestral hall. Han bronzes inherited the ritual tradition of the Three Dynasties, cast by the piece-mould method and chased after casting, giving the lines their archaic strength. This zun, with its beast-mask, thunder and banana-leaf bands and crisp flanges, preserves the air of ancient ritual vessels when placed in a hall or studio.
