- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Han Dynasty, ca. 206 BCE to 220 CE. A lovely ensemble of six mold-formed terracotta tomb attendants, all dressed in floor-length robes that cascade down their bodies and topped by towering coiffures or headdresses. Identical in form, four of the figures appear as pregnant women standing with their right hands resting atop their bulbous bellies and their left arms laying parallel to their tall bodies. Each of their minimalist visages features recessed eyes, round cheeks, a button nose, and a petite mouth. Their robes fold at the top of theirs chests, displaying triangular lapels and are belted just below their stomachs. A fifth figure stands with both arms bent at the elbows and hands resting together on the chest. The ancient figure's round face presents bulging eyes, a flat nose, and a slightly open mouth. Standing with feet apart, the last figure raises her right hand to her shoulder, while the her left arm lays at her side and her robe sways with her body as it gently bends to the left. Size of largest: 1.875" W x 7.75" H (4.8 cm x 19.7 cm)
This figure presents with a chubby visage displaying a straight brow, annular eyes, full cheeks, and pursed lips. All figures are hollow, except the last one described. Lovely remains of ash grey, light pink, and bright orange pigments adorn each charming figure.
