62 - A Magnificent Longquan Celadon Figure of Zhenwu, Yuan dynastythe Daoist warrior God of the North well modelled seated on a rockwork throne, with his emblematic animals the snake and the tortoise entwined at his feet in high relief beneath the even sea green glaze, the figure clad in flowing official robes with a moulded four clawed dragon rank badge on his stomach below the officials belt, and the robe falling open at the collar exposing y-diaper mailed armour, his unglazed head very finely modelled, the handsome beardless face carved with an expression of dauntless power and authority, and the long unglazed hair falling down his back to the belt, with all the areas left in the biscuit, which include the hands, the bare feet, the chain mail and the belt, burnt dark brown in the firing, and showing the exceptional crispness of the carving. A similar finely carved figure was sold at Christies King Street, 13 May 2016, lot 552, described as Xuanwu, an alternative name of the deity. Two figures of similar quality, one of them closely comparable, were included in the Sothebys sale of early wares from the classic collection of E.T.Chow, sold in London, 18th December 1980, lots 325 and 326. The second of the two lots is almost identical apart from the wave base. Zhenwu is one of the four symbols of the Chinese constellations, associated with the essence of water and winter, and a high-ranking deity in Daoism. H:23cm. [Good condition] Link of detail photos:
