The mythical, bearded creature breathes fog or rain, and it dwells in mountains, lakes, rivers, and the sky. Historically, China’s agricultural population revered the dragon because of its alleged ability to bring rain and plentiful harvests.

The dragon ranks highest in the Chinese animal hierarchy. A master of transformation, the dragon has the power to make itself invisible at any time and can also reduce its size as small as a silkworm or expand in size so great that it fills up the skies. #ChineseCeramics

This pot depicts the central characters in Journey to the West, an epic, late sixteenth-century folk novel, attributed to Wu Cheng’en (possibly 1500–80). It tells the journey of the Chinese Buddhist monk, Tripitaka, who is based on the real-life Buddhist monk Xuanzang.

H. 29 cm (11.4 inches) Provenance: from a French private collection Seated side-saddle on a horse with head turned and holding a vase, possibly for use as a candleholder. She wears a white robe with ample sleeves flowered in pink and gold. The horse, which is flat-backed and pierced for suspension, is dappled in purple with a brown tail. An almost identical figure was in the Mottahedeh Collection, published by David Howard and John Ayers in China For the West, 1977, Tome II, p. 616, no. 646. In ancient China, especially during the Tang Dynasty, women riding horses had significant cultural and social meanings, reflecting a shift in societal norms and the growing involvement of women in various aspects of life. This practice was not limited to elite women but also became a common social custom, with depictions of female riders in tomb art, figurines, and literature indicating their increasing presence in public and social spheres. By the Tang Dynasty, horse riding had become a fashion and a part of daily life for aristocrat women, as evidenced by documentary records and tomb figurines. Even in later periods, such as the Qing Dynasty, horses and archery were considered crucial aspects of statehood, as seen in the Mulan Camp and the legacy of Hua Mulan, a female hero known for her bravery on horseback.

The accompanying text on the back of this hat stand states that it plays on the Chinese pronunciation for “big lion and small lions” (dashi xiaoshi 大獅小獅), which closely resembles the phrase “taishi shaoshi 太師少師,” or “may you and your descendant achieve high rank.”

The Chinese word for “lion” can be a pun for “generations” (shi), “master” (shi), and “thoughts” (si), all pronounced the same way. A larger and smaller pairing of animals, like lions, typically depict a senior-junior relationship.
