This piece is an archaic-style standing figure, slender in form, with the body shaped into a natural S-curve and a slight forward lean. The pose is fluid and dynamic, strongly reflecting a Tang-inspired aesthetic. The figure wears a long robe with wide sleeves; the drapery falls naturally, rendered with simplified lines yet a strong sense of volume. The overall silhouette is clear and well-proportioned, with lively presence. Although the face has been softened by age-related wear, the contours of the features and the intended expression remain discernible, giving the piece an appealingly timeworn character. The surface shows natural earthen accretions and signs of age, and the clay body has a warm texture. The base is hollow, with evident finishing marks along the rim—an oft-seen construction feature among comparable tomb mingqi (funerary wares). Overall, the piece aligns with a Tang dynasty tradition (style-based assessment). 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 .
