This piece is a standing figure, small in scale and archaic in character. The figure stands upright with both arms drawn in front of the chest; the shoulders and sleeves are modeled in simplified, block-like forms. The hem of the robe flares slightly outward, with restrained lines that convey an antique sensibility. Although the facial details have been softened by age, the contours of the features and the intended expression remain visible, giving the piece a quiet and refined presence. The surface shows natural earthen accretions and weathered wear; the clay body appears dry in texture, with an evident sense of age. Date assessment (style-based): the modeling is deliberately summarized—emphasizing mass and overall form over fine detail—and the pose and drapery reflect characteristics commonly seen in early funerary mingqi. In overall style, it aligns more closely with small figure types associated with the Han through Six Dynasties period (Han to Wei–Jin and Northern & Southern Dynasties). Condition as shown in the photos: natural signs of age are present, including earthen accretions, minor chips, and surface wear; some areas show weathering and small losses. Overall preservation is fair. Please refer to the actual photos for details. Catawiki disclaimer: This object has been dated based on style by the seller .
