442 A Very Rare Imperial Cloisonne Saddle, mid Qing dynasty
making up a very complete set, consisting of a saddle with stirrups, bridle and trappings, the saddle seat faced in yellow silk kesi from a dragon robe, and with cloisonne mounts against a shagreen field, on a birch wood base structure. Note: Birch was considered a hardwood in Northern China, due to the dry winter and wet summer.The structure is composed of four pieces,following Manchu and Mongolian classic tradition. The surface of the front and back parts are covered with Shark-skin and decorated with gilt brass mounts, finely enamelled in cloisonne with floral motifs. The present seat cover epitomises much of the stylistic achievements in embroidery production during the early Qing period, from the smooth yellow ground to the strongly delineated deep brown mountains, and border of ocean waves. As a symbol of the emperor himself, the pattern is a most fitting subject for a saddle destined to grace one of the halls of an imperial palace. The Brass stirrups have treads pierced with a swastika 4 5 which is considered to symbolise the auspicious footprints of the Buddha. The left-facing swastika is often imprinted on the chest, feet or palms of Buddha images. It is a symbol for the Buddha in many parts of Asia and homologous with the dharma wheel.The shape symbolises the eternal and cyclical, a theme found in the samsara doctrine of Buddhism. The exterior surface enamelled on a Black-ground with floral and geometrical motifs. With a rare horse tail holder, in fabric, with silver 27 mounts, enamelled in polychrome with floral motifs. Together with bridle reins gold-gilt in fabric, with 29 cloisonne mounts, enamelled with bats, birds, longevity symbols and flowers. The bridle rings connect to the iron bit.The bat is a punning rebus for 'fu' meaning fortune or fortunate. Those patterns are very often appear on porclain, furnature, lacquer ware, and cloisonne..
