IMPRESSIVE CHINESE TANG DYNASTY - SHEEPIMPRESSIVE CHINESE TANG DYNASTY - SHEEP LAYING DOWN**Originally Listed At $400**
East Asia, China, Tang Dynasty, ca. 618 to 907 CE. A charming, hollow-molded terracotta sheep laying in a recumbent position. Hooved legs are tucked beneath the muscular body, and a thick neck supports the conical head. Rounded ovoid eyes, drooping ears, a crested snout with slit-form nostrils, and a petite mouth define the zoomorphic countenance. Scattered areas of the original buffware surface are exposed where the dark-grey pigment has worn away, though this certainly does not detract from the skilled artistry of this fabulous example! Size: 6.9" L x 2.7" W x 3.125" H (17.5 cm x 6.9 cm x 7.9 cm).
Provenance: private Hawaii, USA collection, purchased in Hong Kong in the 1980s

2 GREEK ARCHAIC & APULIAN POTTERY FRAGMENTSGreek2 GREEK ARCHAIC & APULIAN POTTERY FRAGMENTSGreek Empire, Archaic Period, ca. 7th to 6th century BCE; Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, ca. 340 to 325 BCE. A lovely pair of pottery fragments, each depicting the head of a figure with a thick black coiffure. Perhaps from an Apulian bell krater, the first fragment displays the bust of a bare-chested, red-figure male shown in profile as he gazes downwards; holding a slender spear or staff - perhaps a Dionysian thyrsos - against his left shoulder. A petite band of tongues is shown in the upper right corner, while both the ground and verso are coated in a rich black glaze. Alternatively, the other fragment is from the Archaic period and presents the head of a female in 3/4 view with huge eyes, a straight nose, a slanted mouth, and a round chin, all delineated in black glaze on a bare terracotta ground. The tops of a tunic can be seen on each shoulder and a design of horizontal bands in black and grey pigments adorns the area above. Size (of largest): 3" W x 4" H (7.6 cm x 10.2 cm)
