略论巢湖北山头汉墓出土神兽纹漆盒

Brief Discussion on the Lacquer Box with Horned Animal Patterns Unearthed from Beishantou Tomb in Chaohu City,Anhui Province

本文通过对巢湖北山头一号墓出土2件神兽纹漆盒的分析,认为其装饰题材来源于欧亚草原地区早期游牧文化流行的有角神兽纹,而纹饰的构图方式、细节处理等则继承了楚国漆器的装饰艺术。另外,这2件漆盒可能由蜀郡、广汉郡工官或供工等中央机构制作,并通过皇室的赏赐或赠予传至墓主。

Based on the analysis of two lacquer boxes with horned animal patterns unearthed from tomb No.1 of Beishantou in Chaohu city,Anhui Province,this paper holds that the decorative themes of these boxes originate from the prevailing horned animal patterns in the early nomadic cultures of Eurasian grasslands,while the composition and details of the decorative patterns inherit the decorative art of the lacquerware of the State of Chu.In addition,the two lacquer boxes may be produced by agencies of Shu County,Guanghan County or the central authorities,and passed on to the tomb owner through royal rewards or gifts.
