Chinese Ming Pottery Chicken Votive Tomb Offering

Item Details

Description

**First Time At Auction**

East Asia, China, Ming Dynasty, ca. 1368 to 1644 CE. A wonderful mold-made pottery chicken votive funerary offering. The chicken rests on an integral bowl-shaped pedestal, and rests its head on its back, as if resting - although it is more likely that it has been cooked and is ready for eating. This is a mingqi - sometimes known as "spirit utensils" or "vessels for ghosts." Pottery representations of food, animals, and people became popular in the Han Dynasty and were placed inside tombs to feed and assist the deceased in the afterlife. A wonderful example! Size: 2.75" W x 2.5" H (7 cm x 6.4 cm)
