The present lot was made in imitation of the bronze weights produced from the Warring States period to the Eastern Han dynasty, often inlaid either in gold or silver. Such weights were made to hold down the corners of woven mats used for seating or for the board game liubo. They were usually made in the shape of animals or mythical beasts, often coiled to form a circle, or in the shape of human figures, and even mountains. They were typically made of bronze, and sometimes lavishly decorated in gilding, or inlaid with gold, silver and precious stones, emphasising the high social rank of the owner. For a Han dynasty example, see a crouching tiger gilt bronze weight, from the Charles Lang Freer collection, in the National Museum of Asian Art, Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC (acc.no.F1915.94); and see also from the Smithsonian, from the Arthur M. Sackler collection, a gold and silver-inlaid bronze tiger weight, Han dynasty (acc.no.S2012.9.2306).
A related bronze 'Buddhist lion' weight, Ming dynasty, was sold at Christie's London, 8 November 2013, lot 1434.
此鎮紙仿戰國至東漢青銅器而作，多飾以錯金銀，用於壓席角或六博棋局四角。其造型多變，有瑞獸、人物及山巒等，多以青銅鑄就，輔以鎏金銀或寶石鑲嵌，彰顯使用者之尊貴身份。參考弗利爾舊藏一件漢代銅鎏金臥虎鎮，現藏華盛頓史密森尼學會國立亞洲藝術博物館，館藏編號：F1915.94；以及館藏另一件漢代銅錯金銀虎形鎮，為賽克勒舊藏，館藏編號：S2012.9.2306。
另參考一件明代銅獅鎮，售於倫敦佳士得，2013年11月8日，拍品編號1434。
