- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Han Dynasty, ca. 206 BCE to 220 CE. A superb gathering of five mold-formed pottery tomb attendants dressed in elegant garments that cover everything but their heads and hands. The figures present in seated poses with legs folded beneath their slender bodies, and each head is covered with a minimalist hat. Two musician figures have petite drums set in front of their legs with one holding their right hand aloft and the other with the right hand down along the chest. A pair of identical dancers feature upward-facing visages beneath bulbous hats and hold their left hands just beneath their chins. The fifth dancer figure showcases a sidelock of hair and grasps a small implement in both hands along the left side of the torso. Remains of powdery orange pigment suggest how ornately each figure was painted and decorated at one time. Size of largest: 6.625" W x 10.4" H (16.8 cm x 26.4 cm)
This piece has been tested using thermoluminescence (TL) analysis and has been found to be ancient and of the period stated. A full report will accompany purchase.
