TWO BRONZE HARNESS ORNAMENTS
WESTERN ZHOU DYNASTY (CIRCA 1046-771 BC)
The first is a heavily cast stylized taotie mask, the eyes set diagonally on either side of the nose below coiled horns and striated hair markings. A horizontal bar spans the concave reverse. The second is a harness cheek piece of curved shape with a central circular aperture that is cast as a stylized dragon with ribbed body and backward-turned head with striated hair above and a long crest that sweeps back to form the D-shaped loop. There are three tubular attachment loops on the reverse, and there is heavy malachite encrustation all over.
2 1/8 in. (5.3 cm.) high and 3 ¾ in. (9.5 cm.) wide, boxes
