描述
- bronze
boldy cast as a buffalo in midstride, the mythical beast with a single curved horn between two large pointed ears, its back fitted with a pierced cover skilfully modelled as a seated boy, the grinning youth raising a ruyi sceptre in one hand with a basket and lingzhi hanging down his back, further rendered with a double-gourd suspending from his belt
Condition
There are two small cracks on the fitted area of the cover, the largest approx. 0.3 cm. The youth has a small dent to the head. There is characteristic pitting and surface wear to the xiniu and boy cover.
