Pillow Dragon in ceramics sculpted from Cizhou, China, early Yuan Dynasty
Pillow Dragon in ceramics sculpted from Cizhou, China, early Yuan Dynasty Decorated with a powerful four-clawed dragon writhing in a field of clouds on a black
background. The drawing made in incision conveys a sensation of force in movement rarely
seen in a piece of ceramics and that breaks with the kind drawings made on the Cizhou pillows
of the Son period.
