Vase. China, late Qing dynasty, early 20th century. Chiseled bronze. Signed on one side. Seal on the base. Measurements: 13 x 14 x 14 cm. This vase is distinguished by its incised decoration on an intense golden background. It is a war scene showing a warrior on the back of his horse fighting against a fierce wild animal. Geometric borders embellish the composition. The handles take the form of two elephant heads, an animal that symbolizes good luck, longevity and success. Two rings hang from its trunks.
