Copper Lux Beast Riding Boshan Stove

[Bronze Lux Beast Riding Boshan Stove]

Bronze Lux Beast Riding Boshan Stove, Western Han Dynasty, 23.9 cm high and 10.1 cm wide
The furnace cover is carved into mountains, with figures and animals adorned on it. The rosefinch standing at the top of the peak is full of vitality. There are holes in the mountains. After the incense is lit, smoke comes out of the holes, like a cloud surrounding, and looks like a fairyland
The shape of the stove handle is the most ingenious. It is carved into a naked warrior with only waist shorts. He bends his knees and sits on the back of the god beast lying down on the ground. His left hand presses the neck of the beast, and his right hand holds the stove body of the towering Qi Peak. Luxi is a strong and powerful man. The broad and tight lips, developed pectoralis major muscles and bulging abdomen are all in line with the principles of artistic anatomy, and have the right artistic exaggeration. The craftsman made a special effort to portray the huge pressure that Lux was under because of the “Boshan”. The high tension and the roar of the divine beast were very vivid
