Object description

Knästående figurin av brons, föreställande en taoistisk odödlig (yuren). Tunn, flat, lätt böjd kropp. Äggformat huvud med näbbformad näsa. Ingraverade linjer och skraffering anger ögon, mun, mustasch, fjäderbeklädnad, vingar samt de på framsidan från midjan nedhängande bladen - ett karakteristiskt drag i de taoistiska odödligas klädsel.

Under figurinen ett liten stift - sannolikt har figurinen varit fästad till någon typ av stöd. Sannolikt var den ursprungligen del av lampa eller rökelsekar.

Figurinen är täckt av en jämn, ljusgrön patina.

Bevingade odödliga (yuren) förekommer ofta i taoistisk litteratur från sen Zhou och Han. Motivet är speciellt vanligt i södra Kina.

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.
