拍賣筆記 vol.277 蘇富比香港：96.52萬港元售出，東周金蟠螭紋帶鉤，岡田美術館 - An Okada Museum 'Dragon' Belt Hook, Eastern Zhou Dynasty, Sold for 965,200 HKD

這類器物隨著近期黃金價格上漲開始浮出水面，實際上這類一直是東周時期最重要的金器之一。可以參考明尼阿波利斯博物館亞洲部主任柳揚博士撰寫的相關文章《柳扬｜瑞士乌尔泽藏秦式金银器 - Qin-style Gold & Silver in the Uldry Collection》

As global gold prices have risen recently, objects of this type have begun to re-emerge and captured the attentions of buyers on the market. In fact, such pieces have long been recognized as among the most important gold artefacts of the Eastern Zhou period.

For further discussion and typological context, see the work of Dr. Yang LIU, Curator of Chinese Art at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, especially his study “Qin-style Gold & Silver in the Uldry Collection.” Dr. Yang LIU's analysis provides a rigorous framework for understanding the craftsmanship, regional metallurgical traditions, and cross-cultural dynamics that shaped these Eastern Zhou gold objects.

東周　金蟠螭紋帶鉤

A rare gold 'dragon' belt hook, Eastern Zhou dynasty

此類鍍金之螭龍紋帶鉤，為典型春秋戰國時期秦晉地區之風格。可比較1979年秦國故都雍城遺址出土一件金龍紋飾件，其龍紋風格與本件如出一轍，見《中國金銀玻璃琺瑯器全集》，卷1，石家莊，2004年，編號128。香港蘇富比售出一件較大者亦資參考，2004年12月18日，編號749。
