拍品专文

The Chinese word for ‘eagle’ (ying) and the one for ‘bear’ (xiong) together form a rebus for the word ‘hero’ (yingxiong). This subject was a popular theme depicted in jade carvings (see lot 831 in the current sale), and would have been an appropriate gift for someone serving in the military. The present carving, which features an eagle attacking a dog, may represent a variation or play on the eagle and bear pairing.
