Description
Archaic-style bronze fanghu vase, China, Ming dynasty, 16th century
With a quadrangular cross-section, resting on a four-legged foot and featuring a widely flared neck, the vase is divided into several registers separated by bands in slight relief. The various sides are adorned with geometric medallions framing Greek fret motifs, whilst the corners of the registers are highlighted with stylised cloud motifs in the shape of lingzhi – ??. The composition, organised around an alternation of decorative panels and bands, stylisedly echoes the vocabulary of archaic Chinese bronzes. The surface has a dark, uniform brown patina.
Height: 38.2 cm
Signs of wear and minor surface irregularities; repair to the base.
