Inlaid bronze tiger and bear weight, Western Han dynasty, China, 206 BC-8 AD. An inlaid bronze weight cast in full relief with a tiger attacking a bear. The tiger is shown biting the flank of the bear which writhes on its back in pain, its jaw wide open. The whole group is strongly modelled and grouped into a circular shape. The eyes are inlaid in gold, the details of the group decorated in silver wire inlay.
