Made of top-grade Hetian jade, partly grayish-white and maroon-red. The shape of the horse is realistic, the muscles are plump, and the body is well-proportioned and harmonious. The head is held high, the lips are turned up and the teeth are exposed, the nostrils are round and open, the neck is thick and the buttocks are tight and round. There are holes in the tail of the horse and the limbs under the abdomen, which may be used to attach the limbs and tail, which can be combined flexibly. However, due to the age, it has been lost now, but it does not affect the overall condition of the jade horse. 《後漢書•馬援傳》雲:「馬者,甲兵之本,國之大用」。馬匹對於國家的強弱盛衰起著重要作用,自古以來備受重視。漢代出於對匈奴作戰的需要,十分重視改良馬種,專門從西域引進汗血寶馬,因此漢代雕塑馬在工藝美術史中有著與眾不同的神韻和氣質,深受藏家喜愛。漢代是中國養馬業的興盛時期,漢朝統治者通過納貢、互市、戰爭等手段大力引進外來優良馬種。這些來自西域的良駒使漢馬「既雜胡馬,馬乃益壯」,此後「天馬」便成為良馬的代名詞。此外,漢代人還將對天馬的鍾愛上升到神話的程度,在漢代雕塑、畫像磚石、墓室壁畫等藝術作品中,常常出現長著翅膀的翼馬造型及「天馬行空」「仙人奔馬」等主題,這也成為漢代乃至整個中國古代馬文化的鮮明特色。本品採用上等和田玉製成,玉質溫潤,包漿肥厚,局部帶有灰白沁色及棗紅色皮色。馬造型寫實,肌肉豐滿,筋骨強健,體態勻稱和諧,動態栩栩如生。昂首豎耳,翹唇露齒,鼻孔圓張,作嘶鳴噴氣狀;頸項粗壯,臀腹緊圓。馬尾部及腹下四肢位置穿有孔洞,可能用於裝上四肢及尾部,可以靈活組合,然而因年代久遠,現如今已經丟失,但卻絲毫不影響此玉馬的整體狀態。此玉馬矯健、彪悍,形神兼備,寓意美好,馬在十二地支中屬午,正是樹木旺盛,萬物欣欣向榮,充滿生機的時刻。寓意滿懷激昂澎湃的鬥志,邁著穩健的步伐走向成功,創造著自己事業上一個又一個輝煌。馬是一種陽剛、灑脫、有靈性的動物,是忠誠、剛烈的象徵,尤其那些難得的寶馬良駒,更是英雄建功立業的好搭檔,而「千里馬」也被喻為人才的代名詞。 (參閱紐約蘇富比2020秋季亞洲藝術週 0252 號拍品,成交價:USD 746000)
