EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite ewer in the form of a parrot dates back to the 10th century and hails from Hebei province in China. The unknown creator masterfully crafted this piece using molded stoneware with intricate carved and incised decorations, showcasing a high level of skill and artistry. The ewer is adorned with a vibrant green and brown glaze, adding to its allure and making it a standout piece of decorative arts. The parrot design is a popular motif in Chinese art, symbolizing prosperity, happiness, and good fortune. The detailed rendering of the bird's feathers, beak, and eyes captures the essence of the creature, making it a fascinating and captivating object. The ewer's shape is not only decorative but also functional, as it was used for serving and pouring liquids. The keystone arch design at the base adds an elegant touch, making it a desirable addition to any collection of Asian art or as a conversation piece in a home. This ewer is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of China during the 10th century and serves as a reminder of the beauty and intricacy of decorative arts from this time period. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this rare and stunning piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of the unknown artist who created it over a thousand years ago.
