DescriptionCurved bronze with horse's head on each end. Character inlaid with turquoise. Green patina.ProvenanceWith Otto Burchard, Peking, by January 1936 [1];
Purchased from Burchard by The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, 1936.
NOTES:
[1] Although Burchard was based in Peking, payment was made to him care of his nephew Wolfgang Burchard's London address, 39 Jermyn Street. It is likely an agreement for the purchase of this object was made between Burchard and Nelson-Atkins Curator of Asian Art Laurence Sickman while both were in London attending The International Exhibition of Chinese Art at the Royal Academy's Burlington House in January 1936.
