A Pair Of Polychrome Ivory Buddhist Lion Riders, China, Qing Dynasty 1644-1912
An exceptional pair of carved ivory statuettes from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). These works depict dignitaries with expressive features, riding richly harnessed mounts, escorted by guardian lions. The ancient polychromy, with its iron-red and azure pigments, reflects the classical aesthetics of the court. The exquisite carving, evident in the details of the headdresses and textiles, illustrates the mastery of the imperial workshops. The pieces rest on precious wood bases finely inlaid with silver wire, emphasizing their prestigious character and historical antiquity.
