Description

Tang Dynasty, Circa 618 – 906 AD A beautifully hollow-moulded figurine, featuring distinctive characteristics of an imperial washing attendant during the Tang Dynasty. The figure is gracefully modelled standing on a low trapezoidal base, her hands joined above his waist holding a decorated white pigment washing cloth, special attention has been placed to the curves of the cloth with winding channels making up the sides, she is wearing a long and voluminous robe enriched in red, blue, and green pigment, secured by a loose belt. She has round face with well-articulated features in black and red pigments, she is wearing a decorated strap under her chin with knot, her lips are painted red, the hair decoratively made into a traditional bun. Pottery figures of attendants such as this example complemented a large array of accessories manufactured for internment in burials belong 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. Accompanied by a Thermoluminescence report confirming age. 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 will accompany this lot. Size: L:510mm / W:200mm ; 4kg. Provenance: UK private collection; formerly acquired in the early 1990s in Hong Kong.
