Seated dignitary china Han Dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE)
Terracotta seated dignitary, Chinese Han dynasty (206 BCE - 220 CE).
Beautiful mingqi funeral figure depicting a kneeling figure, the body is concealed under a vast cloak.
The ample sleeves form a wide curve under the forearms, and two holes must have been used in the past to fix removable wooden hands as traditionally with Han.
It is more customary to see representations of Lady of the Court under the Han rather than a dignitary, this makes it a rare piece with her headdress symbolizing her high rank. Highlights of red
and black pigments.
H. 35.5 l.21 cm
Provenance: Claude and Jeanine Vérité collection
Dimensions :
- Height : 35 cm
- Width : 21 cm
