About the Item
A wonderful and rare set of Khitan Liao gold clad copper alloy repousse horse trappings, featuring thirteen pieces on a modern museum display mount, Liao Dynasty (916 to 1125), China.
The fittings crafted from a copper alloy with a scrolling floral and foliate design worked in high relief repousse, then clad with a thick gold sheet overlay. The set comprised of a two part buckle, a three way buckle, and nine decorative plaques. The plaques would originally have been attached to a leather bridle. Remnants of cloth and leather are still present to the interior of some pieces.
The Khitan were a nomadic people who roamed the steppes of north eastern Asia. Consolidating power under the ruler Yelu Abaoji, they formed a powerful dynastic empire contemporaneous with the Chinese Song Dynasty, and are considered a legitimate Chinese dynasty as well, known as the Liao Dynasty.

China Zhou Dynasty Bronze Perfume Burner
Located in Beuzevillette, FR
Bucket burns perfume in bronze resting on three feet. The body is sculpted with a band frieze with an archaic motif. Two inverted U-shaped handles punctuate the edge. This type of bronze bucket was cast with lost wax from molds in several parts and assembled when the piece was poured, these are the traces that can be seen on the back of the bucket. . The bronze has a beautiful green and dark gray excavation patina. This perfume burner was originally to have longer feet, no doubt arched, cut very long ago since the place of the cut has the same patina as the rest of the piece.
