Item Details
Description
Tang Dynasty, Ca. 618-906 AD This mingqi is modelled standing with curvaceous body swayed to the side, wearing a long, loose robe, her delicate hand and sleeve side by side, her full face with a serene countenance, with rouged cheeks, and 'Moth' eyebrows, framed by the elaborate coiffure, and cloud-toed shoes, with traces of coloured pigment on the face and hair. For a comparison see: The Quest for Eternity, Los Angeles Country Museum, 1987, nos. 83 and 84. This piece has been precisely dated by means of a Thermo Luminescence analysis carried out by Oxford Authentication. The samples collected date the piece to the period reflected in its style, whilst also showing no modern trace elements. The TL certificate with its full report will accompany this object. Report no C122C25. Size: L:515mm / W:160mm ; 3.8kg Provenance: East Anglian private collection; formerly acquired in the early 1990s in Hong Kong.
