About the Item

A striking and large 19th-century Chinese cloisonné and bronze sculpture depicting a peasant riding a donkey. The figure is adorned in a vividly colored robe and hat, both finely detailed with traditional cloisonné floral and geometric motifs in rich blues, greens, and reds. The donkey is crafted in dark patinated bronze, with exquisite attention to anatomical detail and expressive posture, its head lowered as if grazing or in movement. This impressive piece showcases the exceptional artistry of Qing dynasty metalwork and cloisonné techniques, blending sculptural form with vibrant enamel decoration. A rare and decorative statement piece ideal for collectors of Asian antiques or fine decorative arts. Measurements: 57 x 60 x 20 cm
