Lot 67 , A Chinese painted pottery groom figure, Tang Dynasty (AD 618-906)

A Chinese painted pottery groom figure, Tang Dynasty (AD 618-906), cold-painted in a white pigment with the facial details picked out in red and black pigments, standing in attendance with hands clasped together under long sleeves, 31cm high
£350-450

Condition:
A nice example in good presentable condition but with minor damage as should reasonably be expected: there are chips to the base edge and to the left edge of the hair bunch, also signs that the head has been re-stuck at the neck. For reference: similar examples (some with serious repairs) are described and illustrated in the book "Exotic Flavor of the Foreigners on the Silk Road, Terracotta Hu Man of the Tang Dynasty" (Wenwu, 2008).
