拍賣筆記 vol.480 佳士得紐約2026:5.376萬美元售出,東漢/六朝鎏金銅獸面承足, Max N. Berry - Christie’s New York 2026, A Gilt-Bronze Mask-Form Support, Han - Six Dynasties, Sold For US$53,760

造型較為特別,確實不排除是六朝的。東漢到六朝這段時間是中國歷史上最混亂,戰爭最激烈的時代,然而往往在最激盪的年代卻能誕生最偉大的藝術。雖僅僅是獸足,卻在同類中立體感較強,造型獨為一格。漢代常見的承足多為熊,而本件是張口露出牙齒的類似饕餮的野獸,帶有羚羊般的雙角。藍理捷一直有文人情懷,對學術上也十分嚴謹,他在文人品味甄選上,特別是這種青銅材質的,十分具有慧眼。師承羅樾(Max Loehr),可謂是根正苗紅。來自Max N. Berry貝里的傳承,加分。(SACA觀察,2026.09.30)

This small support is powerfully cast with fierce and sharply defined features, including curled horns, bulging eyes, and a blunt snout with pronounced teeth and fangs. The chin rests on a cloven hoof, and the back has a protruding bar for attachment. Gilt-bronze cast masks with similar facial features were used on a variety of Han-dynasty fittings, including a small example (2 ¾ in. wide) of rectangular shape from the Sze Yuan Tang Collection, sold at Christie’s New York, 16 September 2010, lot 860.
