394 - A rare Chinese bronze chariot fittingShang Dynasty (1600BC - 1046BC)the large central section curved and cast with s star-shaped motif35cm longProvenance:Private Hampshire collectionThis distinct class of bronze fitting, traditional referred to as ‘bow-shaped’ (gong xing qi), is closely associated with Shang dynasty chariotry. Frequently discovered near the chariot enclosure directly in front of the driver in high-ranking aristocratic burials, their precise function has long been a subject of scholarly debate. While early theories proposed their use as bow-guards, crossbow fittings, or banner ornaments, current consensus leans toward their function as rein-holders. Attached to the charioteer’s waist belt, the twin curved arms allowed the reins to be secured, leaving the driver’s hands free to handle weaponry or negotiate difficult terrain, while the terminal bells acted as jingles during movement.
