- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Tang Dynasty, ca. 618 to 907 CE. A fascinating tomb guardian figure of a standing warrior. The figure is made from ceramic, with extensive traces of pigment remaining on the body, especially blue-green and pale red. He wears a distinctive headdress on his topknot, a double-breasted suit of armor, a short tunic, and a pair of voluminous leggings. The feet, with their rounded shoes, emerge from below the folds of the leggings. The art of the Tang Dynasty is truly international, reflecting a world in which the Chinese court spread its influence through military conquest and trade to Central Asia, India, Persia, Africa, and southeastern Asia. In this prosperous period, Tang elites imitated the style of the Persians, wearing high boots, short tunics, and leopard skin hats. Size: 8.6" W x 21.75" H (21.8 cm x 55.2 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.

#155504Expertly repaired and restored from multiple pieces, notably on the arms and lower body. This is very well done and difficult to discern from exterior. Light deposits on surface do not obscure the wonderful remaining original pigment.Condition
