A RARE AND LARGE RHINOCEROS HORN ‘ROCKY
LANDSCAPE’ LIBATION CUP
17th century
The deeply carved vessel of flared form, the well-delineated rim above
angular rocky outcrops, partly obscured by ruyi-shaped cloud scrolls,
with a lone sage seated on the graduated stepped ground by a
swirling stream with its source at the base and flowing around the cup,
amongst wutong and cypress trees, all below two large pine forming
the handle with further gnarled branches and pine-needles emerging
through the interior in high relief, the horn of dark chocolate-brown
tone.
17.6cm (6 7/8in) long
HK$350,000 - 400,000
