EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing ceramic vessel, dating between the late Western Han (265-25 BC) and the early Eastern Han (25-316 AD) periods, is a fine example of the rich artistic heritage of ancient China. The sculptural piece, which depicts a seated bear with a keystone arch above its head, is made of molded stoneware with incised decoration and a vibrant green glaze. The bear, with its overweight and rounded form, is carefully detailed, with each tooth and paw rendered with great care. The vessel's close-up perspective invites the viewer to appreciate the intricacies of the incised decoration and the subtle variations in color and texture of the glaze. Originating from the Jin Dynasty (265-420 AD), this bear vessel is a rare and valuable find, as it is not only an exquisite work of art but also a fascinating glimpse into the cultural traditions and beliefs of ancient China. The bear, a symbol of strength and power, was revered in Chinese folklore and mythology, and this vessel may have been used as a decorative object, a container for precious items, or even as a furnishing in a wealthy household. This image, from the Keystone Archive at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), offers a studio shot of the vessel, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details and beauty in a clear and focused way. The vessel's unique design and historical significance make it an essential addition to any collection of Chinese art or Asian decorative arts.
