Item Details
Description
Southeast Asia, Thailand, Sawankhalok culture, ca. 15th century CE. A fine pottery figure of a male hunter draped in fur and an elaborate robe, all enveloped in a creamy beige glaze with chocolate brown-painted details. Face turned toward the heavens, the fascinating figure displays petite eyes beneath straight brows, a projecting nose, and a slightly open mouth surrounded by a lengthy moustache and a pointed beard. A helmet like headdress sits above his naturalistic ears as he grasps a club in his right hand and the head of an animal in his left. The verso of his cloak is adorned with swirling abstract decorations. Size: 3.2" W x 6.3" H (8.1 cm x 16 cm)
