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 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).
See a related gilt-bronze 'mythical beast' weight, Ming dynasty, which was sold at Sotheby's New York, 22 September 2021, lot 125.
