Lot 237: A Chinese Cast Bronze Figure of a Recumbent...
A Chinese Cast Bronze Figure of a Recumbent Ox.
A cast bronze figure depicting a recumbent ox, shown in a naturalistic resting posture with legs tucked beneath the body and the head slightly raised forward. The animal is modelled with short curved horns, defined ears, and a gently protruding muzzle, giving a calm yet alert expression.
The surface displays a varied dark patina with areas of lighter wear and encrustation across the body, contributing to its textured appearance. Subtle incised detailing can be seen along the neck suggesting a rope or collar, while the body is rendered with softly contoured musculature.
H: Approximately 21cm
