A RARE CIZHOU PAINTED TIGER-FORM PILLOW

JIN DYNASTY (1115-1234)
The kidney-form pillow is modelled as a recumbent tiger with an alert expression on its
face, its head lowered and resting on the front paws. Its hind legs are tucked under with its
tail resting along the side of its body. The tiger’s body is freely painted with dark brown
details on a light coffee brown and cream ground. The upper panel is painted in red and
brown pigments with two insects in flight flanking a lotus blossom. The base is unglazed
revealing the buff body.
