19th Century Chinese Bronze Chimera Guardian Figure

$1,800.00

Call For Location | 203-325-8070


19th century, or possibly earlier, seated bronze chimera, cast as a ferocious scaled beast seated in a defensive crouch with its head facing forward as it opens its mouth in a roar exposing the tongue, and the ears shown among backswept horns. The chimera seated on an integral base. A wonderful small sculpture that exudes a lot of presence.

A very appealing warm, coppery patina.

Guardian figures and mythical beasts, like the seated creature here, intended to safeguard the home, were often depicted with fierce features designed to intimidate.

8.75" h  x  3.5" w  x   4" d
