Object description

"Fragment of neck of big vessel with appliqué moulded relief representing wrestlers". Montell 1936 sid 210.

"On the neck of a clay vessel contained in Högberg´s collection (1901.23.2) there are three small reliefs in a good state of preservation, Fig. 11. One of them represents a dancing or floating female figure with her hands placed together above her head... Among other figures of this class may be especially mentioned the one shown in Pl VI, 3, representing a pair of wrestlers (cf. Hoernle 1902, pl. IX, No 20). In spite of the coarse workmanship, this relief produces an animated effect and vividly recalls modern Mongolian wrestling matches. During the T´ang dynastic period this class of decoration, with its moulded thin reliefs, was popular in China for ornamenting large and tall vessels. (Cf. Hallwylska Samlingen, Grupp XLVIII, IV B. a. d. i. Stockholm 1930)." cit. Montell 1936, sid 168 ff.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
