Provenance

Christie's London, 11 December 1989, lot 59.

Christie's New York, 19-20 September 2013, lot 1251.

Description

The first is of grey tone and impressed on either side in the center with five parallel rows of lozenge-shaped panels, each containing small raised bosses, set between two rows of rectangular panels, each containing a face or a single human figure, and all enclosed by borders of peacocks in profile, and short, serrated lines. The second is of beige tone and impressed on either side with a similar pattern of panels, but of varying number to the first, and is also impressed with double circles between the lozenge-shaped panels of the central section. The upper and lower panels exhibit imprints of a masked warrior, two horses in front of a building, or an archer on horseback, six of which have inscriptions that possibly read ru shan, chu dong bei, tu zi bai (enter the mountains, exit the northeast region, [caught] one hundred rabbits), and ba qian li (eight thousand li), and are all enclosed within borders of small chevrons and similar serrated lines.
