Description

Jitterbug is pushing the boundaries by offering this exquisite work from the Northern Song Dynasty (960–1279 CE) as a wallpaper mural. The belt ornament, crafted from gilded bronze and just under two square inches in its original size, features a repoussé design of a crouching lion, symbolizing strength and protection. The intricate detailing and the remnants of gilding indicate its luxurious nature, reflecting the high level of craftsmanship. The green patina visible on the surface is a result of oxidation over the centuries, adding to its historical and aesthetic value. Belt ornaments like this one were not only functional but also served as status symbols in ancient Chinese society.
