The present lot once belonged to a sculpture of a four-armed bodhisattva.

It exhibits many elements associated with Central Tibetan sculpture during the Chidar, the second transmission of Buddhism to Tibet. Having languished for nearly a century, Tibetan Buddhism and its institutions were revived towards the end of the tenth century. In retrospect, India is the homeland of Buddhist and wellspring of the faith and hence a favored destination for aspiring Tibetan Buddhists to study in India’s renowned religious institutions. In addition to Buddhism’s immense philosophical appeal, Tibetans were impressed by the material culture that grew up around the faith. Eastern Indian Buddhist temples and monastic compounds were adorned with sculpture and painting of great power and refinement. Many such 11th to12th century works of art, commissioned or otherwise acquired by Tibetans, were brought back to Tibet where they served as models for Tibet’s own burgeoning artistic traditions.

The jeweled ornaments of the present lot originate from eastern Indian medieval art. The armbands feature a kirtimukha “face of glory” on a triangular foliate leaf, much like that found in a c. 11th-12th century gilt copper alloy figure of Lokanatha from Kurkihar (Fig. 1). The clasp design on the long beaded necklaces are further adorned with bluebellshaped pendants. This attribute can be found in numerous eastern Indian works, including a Varaha stone from Bogra in the Varendra Research Museum Bangladesh. The elegant knot at the nape of the neck, by which the pendant necklace is meant to be tied in place, likewise finds parallels

in that of the Kurkihar Lokanatha. (Fig. 2) The torso features settings for inlaid of gems, another characteristic of eastern Indian medieval sculpture.

Some of the empty gem settings on this torso appear to retain fragments of gold foil, a technique known to have been employed by eastern Indian artists when using glass beads as inset gems. The torso's surviving earring consists of a large disk adorned with a swirling floral design and encircled by beads. Likewise, this feature originates from eastern Indian medieval works. (Fig. 3) Pilgrim accounts of eastern Indian medieval sanctuaries describe metal sculpture of various sizes, long ago melted down or otherwise destroyed.

A few examples in Bangladesh museums provide further evidence of large medieval bronze sculptures from this region. Other large eastern Indian bronze sculptures survive in Tibet, including a c. 11th-12th century standing Maitreya in the Potala. (Fig. 4) Many stylistic elements found on the present lot, including the bluebell-shaped pendant design noted above, can be found on this 138 cm. high figure. Similar to the present lot, the aforementioned figure was cast in several pieces. Holes that once secured the torso to adjacent sections are visible. In retrospect, a number of important copper alloy sculptures in Tibetan monastic collections are likely to have been created by Indian artists for Tibetan patrons. Indian artists went north, particularly towards the end of the 12th century when Indian Buddhist institutions were systematically destroyed by Muslim

invaders. Among these works. A large c. 12th-13th century Tibetan copper alloy head of a bodhisattva in the Musee Guimet in Paris contains numerous stylistic features that parallel with the present lot. Compare also with another large c. 12th century Tibetan copper alloy head (Figs.5).

Indeed, many of the elements of style seen in the present lot can be found in Tibetan sculptures before the 15th century.

Despite its many parallels with eastern Indian medieval works, the present lot’s subtle departures from eastern Indian idioms suggest that this is a Tibetan work of art. It was certainly created with the technical expertise and the artistic vocabulary of the eastern Indian medieval school. The fine modeling, seen particularly around the waist, suggests the involvement of artists experienced in casting large-scale figures. Whether the artist was a Tibetan trained in India, or an Indian artist commissioned by a Tibetan patron, or indeed some other possible artistic permutation, this handsome torso is likely to have been created in Tibet during the 12th or 13th centuries by artists well versed in eastern Indian artistic traditions.

Lot 930 A SMALL JUNYAO PURPLE SLASHD CENSER YUAN-EARLY MING DYNASTY

Junware has been highly sought after by connoisseurs across centuries. Historically, its inception originated in Yuxian, Henan , its production subsequently spread to Hebei, Shanxi and the inner Mongolia during the Jin and Yuan dynasties. In essence, it was not until the Ming dynasty that Junware is recorded in literary sources such as the Songsi jiagui bu (The Rules of the Song Family) by Song Xu and in Lidai mingci tupu (Catalogue of Famous wares of the Dynasties)

by Bian Yuanxiang. The typical tripod censer has a compressed globular body where the lower section are unglazed to emphasize their the thickness of the glaze. The vertical handle on the side of the tripod censor was an imitation of bronze ding tripods, a feature introduced during the Yuan dynasty. Compare with a large handle censor with an exceptionally thick glaze found in Hohhot, Inner Mogolia, illustrated in Ancient Jun ware from the Yip Collection , University Museum and Art Gallery, University of Hong Kong, 2008, pl.105, pp.164 and 165. This vessel is inscribed and dated to 1309 and similar to the present lot, the exquisite purple splash greatly complements the pale blue glaze, where the unglazed bottom exposes the thickness of the glaze and the flambé effects.

Lot 941 A RARE PAIR OF CITIPATI QING DYNASTY

Modeled with bulging eyes and pointed canines below a crown of skeletal heads, dressed in a flowing scarf and skirt with traces of pigment, holding a skull cup and various other attributes as the deities dance with one leg bent and the other standing on an auspicious conch above its pedestal.

In essence, Cittipati are often referred to as the lords of the funeral pyre and the Tibetans regard them us benevolence deities. According to their belief system, the connotation behind a skeleton may not be entirely negative, as death entices one to contemplate upon the concept of impermanence and simultaneously prelude the cycle of reincarnation. The rarity of the present lot predicates upon the meticulous details of the figures elaborate headdress and drapery, which are connotative of the prestigious status of the dancing deities. According to popular Tibetan folklore, the Cittipati performs the Tsan dance on the cremation ground and this is an important subject matter often depicted on the monastery paintings in Lhasa and other sacred Tibetan art. For instance, it is depicted in an important Yama-offering thangka (Fig.1). The two skeletons, presumably Citipati, dance as they circumambulate the choten. Compare with two other thankas featuring the two deities and dated to the Qianlong reign (Fig. 2 and 3), currently residing at the National Palace Museum, illustrated in Thangkas of the Palace Museum , The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum, Hong Kong, 1996, pl.

Lot 942 A POTTERY FIGURE OF A CIVIL OFFICIAL TANG DYNASTY

Modeled in a serene expression with eyes set in a concentrated, thoughtful gaze, surmounted by an official's hat moulded with a bird in relief with traces of red enamel, its hands clasped in the front of its chest, wearing a court belt visible from the reverse, raised on pieced pedestal with the toes of its shoe emerging from beneath the hems of the robe.

HK$ 220,000 - 300,000 NT$ 846,000 - 1,154,000 US$ 28,400 - 38,700 唐 描金帶彩文官陶俑 來源 此器源自李翰祥 (1926-1996) 私人收藏

The renounced Asian director Li Han Hsiang had directed many award winning masterpieces throughout the fifties and the nineties, such as the "Hóng Lóu Mèng" "Qīng guó qīngchéng" and " Huô shâo yuánmíngyuán" just to name a few. The elaborate settings in his productions were always meticulously furnished with antiques and works of art of various kinds. In retrospect, he had also been appointed as a member of the Central Committee of CPPCC in the Liaoning Province.

The present lot of the court official's serene expression epitomizes the Tang standards of true portraiture. The Civil official is a prevalent subject matter often depicted in tombs of the Tang Dynasty, as illustrated by a wall painting in the tomb chamber of Princess Yungtai of the Tang Dynasty in A Selection of Arcghaeological finds of the People's Republic of China , 1976, p.26. In essence, these civil officials remain superior in quality relative to their counterparts from previous centuries. As the officials of the previous centuries often carry an adventitious air, as if the heads and body scarcely belonged together. In contrast, later figures such as the present lot are designed as a whole, with attention to proportion and poise. It is also interesting to note that the details of the figure's paozi is finely accentuated through the areas of gold covering the official's chest, its hat detailed with the semblance of a bird is also characteristic. Compare with a clean-shaven buff pottery figure of a civil officer in a similar posture excavated from the tomb of Liu Tingxun , presently residing at the British Museum in London, illustrated in Tang and Liao Ceramics , United States, 1984, Rizzoli International Publications, p.176, pl.196.

H 15.5 cm The intricacy of the present lot, with its unctuous surface and range of warm amber tones and tactile nature provide an immediate and readily accessible attraction.

"To world a knife, as to wield a brush", which, if met successfully, provide a source of immerse satisfaction to the literati.

2.Prior to the Auction a. Authentication We strongly recommend that the prospective buyers conduct their own authentication for the items they are interested in bidding prior to the auction. We provide no guarantees to the buyer including but without limitations whether the Lot is a counterfeit or the authentication of the Lot’s certificates (with the exception of the guarantee with regard to counterfeits as defined in Article 1 of the Transaction Agreement). b. Important Notice Attention, the Prospective Buyers: As far as possible, the descriptions of auction items will mention obvious defects of the items; however, they do not necessarily include all flaws, defects, or incomplete aspects. The Company does not guarantee that the Lots on auction are in good working condition and the descriptions in the catalogue must not be construed as implying such. The description of the auction items also do not imply that the items have not gone through readjustment or repair or allude anything about the current state or storage conditions of the items. Any omission in the catalogue description regarding the current condition or the appraisal of defects in the items by no means represent that those items are in good condition, function normally, or that there will be any free repair or replacement of parts. We strongly recommend the Prospective Buyers to personally view the items for which they plan to bid before the auction itself. If a Prospective Buyer is unable to view an item for whatever reason, then in our role as a service provider, we would be more than happy to offer our opinion of an item’s special characteristics and current condition. However, the Company is not a professional restorer of the Lots; therefore, any description in the catalogue or any statement provided by the Company is purely the Company’s subjective opinion and not a statement of fact, not for representations or warranties.

The Prospective Buyer completely understands and acknowledges that all of the items on auction are being sold in “as is” condition.The Company does not provide any representation or guarantee as to the conditions of any of the items.

d. Catalogue Explanations Any statement of the author, history, date, year, size, material, ownership, authenticity, origin, condition of preservation or estimated selling price of any of the Lots and certificates thereof shown in the catalogue or the authentication opinion made by the Company, or any other verbal or written statements made separately shall be solely statements of opinions and shall not be deemed the basis for the statements of actual fact. The photographs shown in the catalogue shall serve as reference only and shall not be deemed as the basis for determining the color or tone of any Lots or disclosure of the defects of such item. The estimates of the auction price shall not be deemed the price at which such item will be successfully sold or the statement of the value of the item for other purposes.

Many auction items fail to maintain their perfect condition because of time and other environmental factors. Some of the explanations in the catalogue or the authentication opinions will state defects and/or the repair background of the Lots. Such information is meant for reference only. Missing information in the statements does not mean the Lot has no defects or has not been repaired. Any statement of one particular defect does not mean there is no any other defect. e. Responsibility of the Buyer The Buyer is responsible for clarifying and satisfying himself about the condition of the items and any related matters stated in the catalogue descriptions and making his/her own judgment or estimation independently regarding the items.

If the Company receives several commission bids for one particular item, with all bid prices being equal and of the highest bid price at the auction, priority shall be given to the Buyer whose bid commission is delivered to the Company first. Commission bids are subject to auction conditions. The situation at the auction may prevent the Company from making the bid as commissioned.

If the Buyer fails to pay to the Company all the payments due, the Buyer will not acquire the ownership of the Lot even if the Company has delivered such item to the Buyer. If the payment to The Company are made in any currency other than HK dollars, the Company will collect from the Buyer any foreign exchange expense incurred therefrom, including bank charges and foreign exchange Buyer’s Premiums.

The Lot will be covered by the insurance of the Company from the auction date for 7 days during the temporary holding period.

No Collection of the Lot Sold The Company will arrange for the storage of the Lot if such item sold is not collected within 7 days following the successful auction, regardless of payment. Such storage cost will be borne by the Buyer. Only when the storage, shipping, insurance cost and any other expenses together with any other payments due to the Company are paid in full can the sold Lot be collected. i. Export Permit Except where otherwise agreed in writing by the Company, the fact that the Buyer’s wishes to apply for an export permit does not affect the Buyer’s responsibility to make the payments in 7 days following the auction date; nor does it affect the Company’s right to impose interest on delayed payments.

If the Buyer requests that the Company applies for the export permit on his behalf, the Company is entitled to collect monies made in connection with such an application and any miscellaneous expenses together with any relevant value added taxes.

If the Buyer makes the payment regardless of the fact that an export permit is needed, the Company is not responsible for returning to the Buyer any interest or other expenses incurred therefrom.

The catalogue explanations or the notice at the auction distributed on the auction day corresponds to the opinions generally accepted by the academic or professional fields or explicitly indicates it conflicts with the opinions generally accepted by the academic or professional fields; or b. The method used to prove that the Lot is a counterfeit is a scientific procedure not generally accepted for use before the publication of the catalogue or a procedure unreasonably expensive on the day of the auction, or impractical, or may cause damage to the Lot; the Company is not liable for the return of any payment under any circumstances. In addition, the Buyer’s payment can only be refunded when the following terms are met: 1.

The Buyer may also assign the good ownership of the Lot to the Company, which shall not concern any third party claim.

Under no circumstances is it necessary for the Company to pay the Buyer an amount more than what the Buyer pays in connection with the Lot and the Buyer can not claim interests.

The interests of the warrantee cannot be assigned and belong solely to the Buyer who receives the original invoice on which such Buyer’s name is recorded from the Company when the Lot is sold.

Such Buyers shall remain the owner of the auction Lot and cannot assign any interest of the Lot to any other person. The Company is entitled to ascertain that the Lot is not a counterfeit based on a scientific procedure or any other procedure, regardless of whether such procedure is being used on the day of the auction.If the result of appraising and verifying whether the Lot is a counterfeit by the Company conflicts with the evidence provided by the Buyer, the Company’s said result shall prevail over the evidence provided by the Buyer.

Article 3.The Seller 1. The Company as the Agent The Company acts as the agent of the Seller at a public auction. The Closing Agreement of the Lot is the agreement by and between the Buyer and the Seller, through the agency of the Company on behalf of the Seller.

i. 出口許可證 除本公司另有書面同意外，買家希望申請出口許可證之事實，並不影響買家在成功拍 賣日後起算七天內付款之責任，亦不影響本公司對延遲付款收取利息之權利。 如買家要求本公司代為申請出口許可證，本公司有權向其收回與此項申請有關之付出款 項及零碎開支連同任何有關之稅款。 如買家不管需要有出口許可證之事實而作出付款，本公司並無責任退還買家因此而引致 之任何利息或其他開支。 5. 本公司之法律責任 本公司僅在第二條第6項所列之情況下，得將退還款項予買家。除此之外，不論賣家或本 公司，或本公司任何僱員或代理人，對任何拍賣品之作者、來歷、日期、年代、尺寸、 材質、歸屬、真實性、產地、保存狀況或估計售價之陳述，或任何拍賣品之任何缺陷， 均不負有任何責任。賣家、本公司、本公司之僱員或代理人，不論明示或暗示，均無就 任何拍賣品作出任何保證。 6. 膺品/贓物之退款 如經本公司拍賣之拍賣品，經本公司書面認可之專業鑑定機構出具鑑定報告證實為膺品 或贓物，則交易將取消，已付之款項於交付賣方前將退還予買家。但如： a. 在拍賣日發出之目錄說明或拍賣場通告符合當時學者或專家普遍接納之意見，或清楚 表明有抵觸當時學者或專家普遍接納之意見，或 b. 證明拍賣品為膺品之方法，只是一種在目錄出版前仍未普遍獲接納使用之科學程序， 或是一種在拍賣日仍屬昂貴得不合理或並不實際或很可能會對拍賣品造成損壞之程 序，則本公司無論如何並無責任退還任何款項。此外，買家只在滿足下述條件下方可 獲得退款： 1. 買家必須在付款領取拍賣品後的十日內以書面通知本公司，說明買家認為有關拍賣 品乃膺品或贓物之詳細理由及證據，並通知後十四日內及將拍賣品送還本公司，而 其狀況應維持與拍賣當日相同，不得有任何損壞；及 2. 送還拍賣品時，買家須出示證據，足以使本公司確信拍賣品乃膺品或贓物(本公司保 有最終及不可異議的決定權)。在任何情況下，本公司均毋須向買家支付多於買家就 有關拍賣品而支付予本公司之款項，而買家亦不能索取利息或任何賠償。 本條款之利益不能轉讓，完全屬於拍賣品成功拍賣時獲本公司發給正本發票之買家所有 (該買家名稱確係被記載於發票上)，該名買家並須自拍賣後一直保持拍賣品擁有人之身 分，而且並無將拍賣品之任何利益讓予任何第三人。本公司有權依據任何科學程序或其 他程序確定拍賣品並非膺品，不論該程序在拍賣當日是否已使用或已在使用，如本公司 驗證拍賣品是否屬於贗品之結果與買家出示證據相衝突者，應以本公司驗證結果為準。 三.賣家 1. 本公司作為代理人 本公司在公開拍賣會中，以作為賣家代理人身份行事。拍賣品成功拍賣後，即產生賣家 通過本公司之代理與買家達成之合約，由賣家負責向買家履行出賣人義務及責任。 2. 開支 賣家須負責與下述各項有關之費用： a. 將拍賣品包裝並運予本公司作拍賣。 b. 任何適用之運送保險。 c. 如拍賣品交回賣家其包裝與付運。若拍賣品由海外進口，付運費與進口適用之稅項。 d. 受保於本公司之精品保險單（下文另有解釋）。 e. 預先與賣家協定之對拍賣品作出之任何修整。 f. 本公司為擬定目錄說明指定需由外界專家作出之鑑定。 g. 本公司指定之任何外界專家意見。 h. 拍賣品拍賣前後之裝卸、貯存及保管等費用。 i. 本公司之行政費用，金額為因賣家而引致之一切費用及損害金額之10%。 j. 任何市場之推廣及廣告費用。 3. 由本公司安排保險事宜 a. 除非與本公司另有協定外，否則拍賣品將自動受保於本公司藝術品精品保險單，保險 值為本公司自行評估 當時認為適當者。然而保險金額並非本公司承諾拍賣品會成功拍 賣之款額。 b. 本公司將向賣家收取拍賣落槌價之1%或若未拍賣成功時以拍賣品底價之1%，作為保險 費。如由本公司安排運送，本公司將向賣家收取額外款項，作為運送保險費，款額視 每宗拍賣品之特定情況而定。如有需要，本公司可建議/介紹承運人，但不論於何種情 況下，本公司均不承擔任何有關此方面之運送法律責任。 c. 拍賣品在成功拍賣日後起算七天內保險仍然有效。如拍賣品未能成功拍賣，保險屆期 以後風險全由賣家承擔。 d. 由蛀木蟲、空氣、水份情況轉變或其他不能預見或人力不可抗拒情況而對拍賣品造成 之損壞，或其他非可歸責於本公司之事由所致之損壞，本公司不承擔任何法律責任。 4. 物主購買保險 如賣家特別指示本公司毋須為拍賣品購買保險，風險全由賣家承擔，直至拍賣品交付予 買家為止。賣家無條件同意須保障本公司、本公司之僱員與代理人，以及買家（如適 用）免負因拍賣品而針對本公司、本公司之僱員與代理人，以及買家索償之賠償責任， 而不論索償因何引起。賣家亦同意應本公司、本公司之僱員與代理人，以及買家所要 求，負責償還因此種索償而引致之開支，縱使本公司、本公司之僱員與代理人，以及買 家有疏忽之處，而未證明有任何法律責任而作出之付款，亦須償還。賣家須自行將本條 條款揭露予賣家之承保人。 5. 賣家就拍賣品所作之承諾 本項列出本公司處理拍賣品之基準，規範賣家與買家之間的買賣關係。如此基準在任何 方面有不確實之處，本公司或買家可採取針對賣家之法律行動。本公司處理拍賣品及購 買拍賣品，均以賣家所作之下述承諾及擔保為基準，賣家承諾及擔保如下： a. 賣家為拍賣品之唯一所有權人及/或合法持有人，具備將其所有權及相關所有權利(於無 質押、無產權負擔及無涉及第三人權益或申索的情況下)轉讓予買家之無限制權利。 b. 賣家已遵守一切與拍賣品之進出口有關之法律或其他方面之規定，並已將過去任何第 三人未能遵守此等規定之事以書面通知本公司。 c. 賣家已將其所知之有關拍賣品之任何重大修改以及第三人就拍賣品之所有權、狀況或 歸屬所表示之任何關注以書面通知本公司。 如上述a、b或c等三項擔保有任何不確實之處，賣家須應本公司及/或買家之要求，完全負 責及彌償本公司及／或買家一切因此而引起之損失索償、訴訟費、律師費、所有費用及 開支，而不論是因拍賣品還是因拍賣收益而引起。

6.拍賣安排 a.本公司對目錄內拍賣品之描述與圖示方式、鑑定意見書、拍賣地點與方式、讓何人進場 競投以及競投價之接受、是否應尋求專家意見，以及將物品合併或分開拍賣等均有完 全之決定權。 b.任何估價，不論口頭或書面，均只屬意見，而非拍賣品最終可賣得的價錢之保證。 c.未得本公司事前書面同意，賣家不可撤回拍賣品之委託。但本公司保留隨時因後述原因 而撤回、中止或終止拍賣品委託授權之權利。此等原因為： (1)本公司對拍賣品之界定或真實性或上述第5a、 b或c項所指之承諾之準確性有懷疑； 或 (2)有任何違反本業務規則之情況；或 (3)本公司認定將拍賣品納入或繼續執行拍賣並不適當者。 d. 撤銷委託或授權條款 (1)非經本公司事前書面同意，賣家不得撤回、中止或終止對於標的作品之委託或授予 本公司之權利。 (2)賣家依前項規定撤回、中止或終止拍賣品之委託或授與本公司之權利者，委託者除 應對本公司負損害賠償或經濟上損失賠償責任外，尚須支付委託底價之40%作為懲 罰性違約金付與本公司。 (3)如賣家有任何違約情事，本公司有權隨時終止委託事項，賣家須支付本公司所有之 前為履行委託或授權工作所產生之費用及開支。 7. 拍賣守則 a. 本公司將會參照底價進行拍賣品之拍賣程序。底價不得高於拍賣目錄所印登載估價之 下限，但如所同意之底價為港幣以外之貨幣，並因協定底價之日與成功拍賣之日上匯 率波動而致底價高於估價下限，則不在此限。在此情況下，除本公司另行同意外，底 價須為相等於以緊接成功拍賣前一個工作天之收市匯率計算之港幣款項。 b. 如競投價不能達到底價，本公司在任何情況均不負有任何責任，但本公司有權決定將 拍賣品以低於底價拍賣。如本公司如此將拍賣品拍賣，本公司將有責任向賣家支付成 交價與底價之差額。 c. 賣家不得以自己或第三人名義隨意哄抬競投價格，不得以自己或第三人名義參與競標 拍賣品，亦不得聘請任何人代賣家參與競投，惟本公司有權代理賣家參與競投。 8.成功拍賣後 a. 結算 成功拍賣後，本公司協助賣方要求買家最遲於成功拍賣日後7日內全數付款。在買家付 款後，除非本公司收到通知謂拍賣品為膺品，否則，本公司會於成功拍賣日期後60個 工作天，將一筆相等於成交價減去賣家應支付之所有費用之款額匯予賣家。如遇買家 延遲付款，則本公司將在買家付款後7個工作天內匯款予賣家。如因任何理由而使本公 司在買家付款前即已付款予賣家，則本公司即獲得拍賣品之完整之擁有權與所有權。 但在本公司因拍賣品為膺品而被迫向買家收回拍賣品下，賣家方須將已收取之拍賣收 益退還予本公司。 除賣家另有書面指示外，本公司將以港幣付款。如賣家要求以港幣以外之貨幣付款， 依拍賣現場由香港匯豐銀行公佈之匯率計算付款金額。 b.賣家支付每件拍賣品之手續費： (1)本公司之拍賣須至拍賣完成後買家實際付清所有款項予本公司時，視為交易完成。 (2)當交易完成，賣家須依約定支付本公司手續費。 c. 買家不付款 如買家在成功拍賣日後起算7天內未支付應付之全部款項，本公司即有權代理賣家就 付款、貯存與保險而協定特別條款，並有權代理賣家採取本公司認為適當的任何步驟 以向買家收取其應付之款項，因而產生之相關費用及損害，概由賣家自行承擔。但本 公司並未承擔任何付款責任，亦無義務代理賣家採取任何行動(包括但不限於法律行 動)。但本公司將與賣家討論如何採取適當行動以向買家追討拍賣款額。 d. 膺品/贓物 如買家於付款領取拍賣品後之十日內，使本公司相信或懷疑拍賣品為膺品或贓物或涉 及任何不法情事者，本公司得自行決定無條件買家交付之拍賣落槌價(本公司得扣處因 此所致之相關處理費用)予買家時，而拍賣品將由本公司退回賣家或送交警方處理，賣 家不得異議或對本公司主張任何權利或請求，賣家並應於本公司通知後，於三日內無 條件退還其所得之全數金額予本公司，賣家並應於十日內付清相關基本支出費用，及 賠償本公司因此所致之所有損失、損害及相關費用等。逾期退還、給付者，賣家應另 外支付按不超過香港匯豐銀行最優惠利率加10%之年利率收取整筆欠款之利息。此外 本公司可同時按日收取依賣價（含佣金）1％計算之違約金。本公司亦得自行選擇將賣 家未付之款項，用以抵銷本公司或其他附屬公司在任何其他交易中欠下賣家之款項， 賣家絕無異議。 e. 未能成功拍賣之拍賣品 (1)任何拍賣品如未能成功拍賣，或不包括在拍賣之內，或因任何理由而撤回、中止或 終止拍賣，則在本公司發出通知予賣家要求賣家領回拍賣品後之35天內，賣家必須 領回拍賣品。 (2)任何此等拍賣品如在35天過期後仍未領回，本公司可向委託者徵收每天每件標的作 品參佰港元 (hk$300)貯存費，並收取額外費用以購買保險。賣家須在付清所有未付 費用後，方可領回拍賣品。 (3)此等拍賣品如在發出領回通知後之60天內仍未領回，則可被移往第三人之貨倉貯 存，開支費用由賣家承擔。 (4)任何此等拍賣品如在拍賣日期後或上述通知日期後之90天內（以較早之日期為準） 未被領回，則本公司可視乎是否合適而將該拍賣品處置。處置包括將拍賣品移往第 三人之貨倉而開支費由賣家承擔，以及將該拍賣品按本公司認為適當之條款（包括 有關估價與底價之條款）公開拍賣。本公司其後會將拍賣收益扣除所有欠款後支付 予賣家。 (5)任何拍賣品如在拍賣中收回或未能成功拍賣，則本公司有權代理賣家在拍賣後的兩 個月內作為賣家之獨家代理人，按賣家可收取之淨款額（即扣除賣家應付之一切費 用後之款額），私下出售拍賣品。本公司得事前扣除所致之費用。在此情況下，賣 家就該拍賣品而對本公司所負有之責任、義務及付款條件等，與拍賣品成功拍賣時 一樣。 9. 圖片與圖示 賣家同意本公司有權對拍賣品制作照片、圖示、錄像或其他形式的影像制品，此等照 片、圖示、錄像及影像制品之著作權及其他一切權利均屬本公司所有，且本公司有權以 任何本公司認為適合之方式使用之，賣家絕無異議。

10.稅制 a. 依香港稅法規定，拍賣品成交後委託者須提供報稅名單及相關資料，由本公司提報稅 捐單位。 b. 如果賣家為香港公司或香港居民，根據香港稅法，本公司毋須向賣家代扣香港利得 稅。如果本公司其後發現賣家之聲明及文件不實，本公司保留向賣家追討香港稅款及 其他相關費用（如利息、罰款及律師費等）的權利。 c. 若委託者非香港本地人士，委託者並同意本公司直接代扣落槌價或底價(如底價高於落 槌價)之0.5%，作為拍出後之利得稅，由本公司代為申報並繳交稅捐單位。由本公司 扣除的款項將隨著當時的稅率而調整。 四.買家與賣家均適用之條件 1. 智慧財產權 與拍賣品有關之一切影像、圖示與書面材料之相關智慧財產權(包括但不限於著作權、 專利等)，於任何時候均屬於本公司之財產及所有。未得本公司事先書面同意，賣家、 買家或任何人均不得使用。 2. 通知 a. 根據本業務規則發出之通知，均須以書面發出。如採用郵遞發出，則在付郵寄出後第 二個工作天，視為收件人已合法收受；如收件人在海外，則為付郵寄出後第五個工作 天，視為收件人已合法收受。 b. 本公司根據本業務規則、委託授權書或買家所提供之聯絡資料對賣家或買家發出之通 知，凡已依據委託授權書後附或買家所提供資料上所載的地址、電子郵件地址或傳真 號碼統稱「聯絡方式」)以書面發出該通知者，均視為該通知已有效發出。若賣家或 買家之聯絡方式有變更時，應立即以書面通知本公司。 3.可分割性 a. 如本業務規則有任何部份遭任何法院認定為無效、不合法或不可強制執行，則該部分 可不予理會，而本業務規則之其他條款仍繼續有效及可強制執行。 b. 本業務規則第二條買家條款項下之各條款，專屬適用本公司與買家間法律關係，賣家 不得主張適用。本業務規則第三條賣家條款項下之各條款，專屬適用於本公司與賣家 間法律關係，買家不得主張適用。 4.本業務規則同時存在中文及英文版本，如二版本內容有所歧異，應以中文版條文為準。 5. 本業務規則得隨時由本公司修改，買方及賣方均同意遵守修改後之業務規則。 6. 法律及管轄權 本業務規則受香港法律規範，本業務規則之解釋與效力均適用香港法律。賣家與買家須 服從香港法院之排他性管轄權。
