Celadon bowl with carved and incised dragons
Five Dynasties period (907-960), 10th century
Probably the vicinity of Shanglinhu, Zhejiang Province
Stoneware with carved and incised design under celadon glaze (Yue ware); H. 4 3/8 in. (11.1 cm), Diam. 10 5/8 in. (27 cm)
The quality of potting and the production of fine ceramic wares seem to have been unaffected by the political turbulence that gripped China as the Tang dynasty (618-906) lost its preeminence at the beginning of the tenth century. Indeed, the quality of the output of the Yue kilns in the northern part of Zhejiang Province seems to have peaked during the upheavals of the Five Dynasties period, which occurred throughout most of the first sixty years of the century. This tenth-century bowl, with carved and incised dragons under a lustrous green glaze, is one of the great ceramic treasures in the Museum's collection. The high-fired clay has vitrified so that it is resonant when struck, although it is not true porcelain in the Western sense, because it is neither whit read more. |

Yamantaka Mandala with imperial portraits
Yuan dynasty (1279-1368), 1330-1332
Silk tapestry (kesi)
96 5/8 x 82 1/4 in. (245.4 x 208.9 cm)
Buddhism flourished in Yuan China and was also practiced briefly in Iran before the official conversion of Il-Khan Ghazan to Islam in 1295. The Buddhist mandala represents the cosmic and sacred realm where the deity (at the center), the ultimate subject of meditation, is surrounded by symbols of the spiritual stages that the devotee must pass through in order to attain enlightenment. This woven mandala, in the style of the Sakyapa school (originating from the Sakya monastery in Tibet), shows Yamantaka (also known as Vajrabhairava), the wrathful manifestation of the Bodhisattva Manjushri, as the central deity. The basic scheme of this mandala follows the convention of the Sakyapa school in the fourteenth century, and the decoration is rich and complex. Color changes and slits in the weave make up the design, and the use of gilded paper in the crowns and jewelry gives a three-dimensional read more. |

Eastern Han dynasty (25-220 a.d.), 1st - early 3rd century a.d.
Eastern Han dynasty (25-220 a.d.), 1st - early 3rd century a.d.
Earthenware with green lead glaze
H. 9 1/4 in. (23.5 cm)
This animal basin is populated with goats, tended to with one hand by a mother who cradles an infant in her other arm. It is typical of mingqi or "spirit utensils" that accompanied the deceased in burials of the Eastern Han dynasty (25-220 a.d.). Replicas of farm animals, utilitarian objects, and entertainers were believed to provide nourishment and amusement for the soul of the tomb occupant. The elevated structure serves as an architectural record of rustic buildings that would have been part of a large agricultural estate, and preserves in clay details of wooden design and construction - such as the low-pitched roof with a series of wood rafters flanging from a central beam - that have long since disintegrated above ground.
The popularization of mingqi over the course of the Han dynasty (206 b.c.-220 a.d.) reflects dramatic changes in Chinese society, illus read more. |
