CHINESE TANG DYNASTY TERRACOTTA FEMALE MUSICIAN - TL TESTED
CHINESE TANG DYNASTY TERRACOTTA FEMALE MUSICIAN - TL TESTED
Item Details
Description
Tang Dynasty, Ca. AD 618 - 907.
A Chinese terracotta painted female musician. She is depicted wearing a green belted top and loose trousers. The long flowing sleeves are pulled up to allow her to play the Guzeng, a plucked string instrument. Her hair is tucked into a crown-like hat, with a bird perched on top. The green pigment may possibly be made from Atacimite, a mineral that was used to produce green pigment in China until Malachite was introduced. This piece has been precisely dated using a Thermo Luminescence analysis carried out by Ralf Kotalla. The report will accompany the lot.
Size: 245mm x 120mm; Weight: 720g
Provenance: UK private collection; formerly acquired in the early 1990s in Hong Kong. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.
