RARE CHINESE TANG DYNASTY TERRACOTTA COURT ATTENDANT

Item Details

Description

Ca. 618-907 AD. A beautifully hollow-moulded court attendant figure, featuring distinctive characteristics of an imperial court attendant of the Tang Dynasty. The figure is gracefully modelled standing on a low rectangular-shaped base, his hands joined above his waist in the pose of holding, wearing long and voluminous robes enriched in yellow, red, and green pigment, secured by a loose belt over wide trousers. He has a round face with well-articulated features out in black and red pigments, the hair gathered in a braid around the back of his head. Pottery figures of attendants such as this example complemented a large array of accessories manufactured for internment in burials belonging to high-ranking members of the Tang society. Images In China were believed to "become alive", in other words to function just like their physical counterpart, so they could perpetuate their benign effects to the views. This piece has been precisely dated by means of a Thermo Luminescence analysis No. C123a56 carried out by Oxford Authentication, UK. The samples collected date the piece to the period reflected in its style, whilst also showing no modern trace elements. The TL certificate will accompany this lot. Some restoration at the back of the figure. Size: L:555mm / W:200mm ; 6kgProvenance: Private UK family collection; acquired in the early 1990s.
