Description

Circa 386-534 AD A well defined Chinese Northern Wei Terracotta Attendant Statue. The Figure is depicted standing with his hands along the body, wearing mid-length, red robe with wide sleeves and voluminous trousers. Well detailed face, modelled with calm expression, elongated ears. Attendant figures such as this item were important to a variety of cultures with afterlife beliefs which involved trials, travels, or an afterlife similar to that which was lived on earth, as well as acting as representations of the ancestors. Popular iconographic choices included warriors, dancers, male and female courtly figures, and animals. This piece has been precisely dated by means of a Thermo Luminescence analysis carried out by Ralf Kotalla, an independent German Laboratory. 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 apany this lot. Size: L:260mm / W:70mm; 570g Provenance: UK private collection; formerly acquired in the early 1990s in Hong Kong.
