A SUPERB AND VERY RARE SILVER 'ANIMALS' BOWL
TANG DYNASTY (AD 618-907)
The bowl has gently rounded sides rising to a slightly everted rim. The exterior is exquisitely decorated with a continuous design of symmetrically arranged bands of heart-shaped floral scrolls issuing curling tendrils, leaves and palmettes and interspersed with birds at the top, beneath a continuous meander of leafy stylized vine, all against a ring-punched ground. The central band of scrolls enclose various individual animals in different poses, including an elephant and a camel.
6 ¼ in. (16.5 cm.) diam.; weight 331 g
