Footnotes

戰國至西漢 銅鏤空夔龍、狗熊帶鉤 一組兩件

The present lot represents typical bronze costume accessories from the Warring States to Western Han periods, featuring designs of a dragon and a bear. The dragon hook employs openwork craftsmanship throughout its body, forming an overall S-shaped coil with a dynamic form. Its head turns back, mouth wide open to reveal sharp fangs, projecting an imposing presence. The dragon's body twists and turns, covered in intricate scale patterns. The delicate openwork not only lightens the piece but also enhances its play of light and shadow. The bear is depicted in a crouching stance, head lowered, eyes wide and alert, mouth slightly open, conveying a vigilant and formidable demeanor. Its powerful forelimbs form a decorative embrace.

此組銅帶鉤為戰國至西漢時期典型青銅服飾配件,分別為夔龍與狗熊造型,其中夔龍主體採用鏤空工藝,整體呈S形盤曲,造型靈動而富有張力。龍首作回望狀,龍口大張,獠牙畢現,展現出威嚴的氣勢。龍身蜿蜒曲折,通體飾以細密的鱗甲紋,通過精妙的鏤空處理,既減輕了器物重量,又增強了光影效果。狗熊呈蹲踞姿態,頭部低伏,雙目圓睜有神,口部微張,表現出警覺威猛的神態。前肢粗壯有力,環抱形成裝飾性構圖。
