- Lot Description
East Asia, China, Sui/Tang Dynasty, ca. 581 to 906 CE. An elegant, mold-formed ceramic figure of a male, covered in a pale yellow straw glaze. The man stands on an integral circular plinth with his hands clasped before his chest, as if he once held an attribute. He is dressed in voluminous garments with nicely delineated drapery folds as well as a head covering. He looks out with bold features including thick curved brows, almond-shaped eyes, a broad nose, and full lips. A special example of straw glazed sculpture, a form that would serve as inspiration for celadon wares so admired in later times. Size: 9.5" H (24.1 cm)
Published: A. Juliano, "Bronze, Clay & Stone: Chinese Art in the Wang Family Collection" 1988, no. 45.
