Description:

尺寸:12.5 cm Length 來源: 1. 大維德爵士(Sir Percival David,1892-1964)夫婦舊藏。 2. 香港佳士得,1995/5/1,Lot 781。 拍品描述:龍龜是中國傳統文化中的一種祥瑞之獸,有關《河圖洛書》的傳說中有「龍馬負圖、神龜負書」的記載,神龜即是龍龜,通常代表著榮譽和地位,是能耐、負重、長壽、權威的象徵。 水丞為白玉質,局部帶沁色。整體圓雕龍龜造型,龍龜背部掏挖成膛,巧設水丞,龜殼中央有小蓋與刻有螭龍鈕的水柱,設計小巧精妙。龍龜伏臥,凸額大口,雙目有神,長頸挺立,角伏於耳後,尾巴上翹,搭於背上,四肢微收,龍頭輕輕上揚,向右微傾,鬚髮飄逸,身軀健壯,四足粗壯穩健,尾羽整齊劃一,雕刻精美,完美地呈現了明代玉器工藝的頂峰。底部鏟地刻有「永壽之寶」字體俊秀有力,透露出金石之美。 「永壽之寶」很有可能為明清時期紫禁城內的「永壽宮」有所關聯。「永壽宮」為西六宮之一,明永樂時期建成,初名「長樂宮」,萬曆44年(西元1616年)更名為「永壽宮」,為明清兩朝皇室后妃之居所。本件拍品工藝精美,造型獨特,加以明確的來源與典故,實為不可多得的明代經典玉器。 參閱:明清 銅龍龜,北京故宮博物院藏。 款:「永壽之寶」
