- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Han Dynasty, ca. 206 BCE to 220 CE; Tang Dynasty, ca. 618 to 907 CE. A fine set of three mold-formed terracotta figures from the Han and Tang Dynasties of ancient China. First is a charming Han Dynasty pig standing on two sets of fused legs with a bulbous belly, a petite tail, a squat crest running along the back and head, and a thick snout flanked with a pair of droopy ears. Second is a standing female figure from the Tang Dynasty with hands clasped in front of her waist, a delicate countenance peering forward with almond-shaped eyes, and a tiered headdress. The third and largest standing figure is from the Han Dynasty and holds hands together within large sleeve cuffs, stands with a floor-length vestment, and holds upright the head which features a wide nose and a wide-brimmed cap. A lovely ensemble from ancient China. Size of largest (standing Han Dynasty figure): 4.1" W x 10.7" H (10.4 cm x 27.2 cm).
Provenance: private J.H. collection, Beaverton, Oregon, USA, acquired between the late 1980s to August 2012; (Tang figure) ex-private Oregon, USA collection; (tallest figure) ex-private Jackson Heights, New York, USA collection; (pig) ex-private collection
