Description: | Hollow-moulded light buff earthenware figure of a standing civil official, made as a tomb figurine. The man stands with a tablet for imperial petition held in both hands to his chest. He wears a tall hat and flowing robes tied at the waist over a tunic; the robes have very long, flowing sleeves into which his hands are tucked. The figure is glazed in sancai style except for the head, which is left unglazed. The robes are covered in an amber glaze with blue lapel and cuffs, the shoes in a blue glaze and the tunic in blue and green glazes. The face is quite finely sculpted and the eyes are painted in black pigment. There are earth encrustations all over the figure, particularly on the legs and head. | Subjects: | statuette sculpture in the round statuette | Source: | Vads | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=195... | Go to resource |
