Ver traducciónChino antiguo, dinastía Tang Terracota Estatuilla de la Guardia
N.º 91220609
A finely hollow-moulded terracotta Chinese Tang period statuette of a male, possibly a guard. He is wearing a mid-length tunic with elbow-length sleeves, tied at the waist. He also wears a hood-like headpiece tied below his chin. His one arm is held to the side and the other hand to his abdomen. There is a perforation to the hand, which would possibly have once held a staff-like weapon, or used for offerings, such as incense. His face has been carved with high precision, with his eyes, nose, and mouth carefully detailed. Traces of the original orange and black pigmentation are still visible to the body and feet. Some chips and scratches to the surface as consistent with its age.
Grave goods were an important status symbol in ancient China, so the affluent and important would be accompanied in their travels through the afterlife with numerous depictions of people, items and animals. Such terracotta figures were made for the service and entertainment of the owner, ensuring that their journey in the underworld was a happy one.
Measurements: H 16.3cm x W 4.9cm x D 4.5cm
Provenance: From the collection of a West Country gentleman, formed in 1970s.
N.B. Delivery may be longer due to the busier period and we do not guarantee delivery before Christmas. Items paid for after the 18th December will be shipped after the New Year (week commencing on the 6th January 2025).
