Gold ceremonial mask sculpture with horns and curled features on a gray studio background, shown in close-up.

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)
