This Han watchtower model, is connected with the funerary world of the Han dynasty, when ceramic models, vessels and figures accompanied the deceased as material representations of the world they were expected to inhabit after death.

Such works translated architecture, attendants, animals, utensils or protective structures into symbolic scale. Their role was not purely decorative: they formed part of a funerary assemblage intended to preserve rank, protection and social continuity.

From a museum perspective, the piece connects art, architecture and beliefs about the afterlife in ancient China. Its material presence balances observation of the real world with the ritual construction of an ordered hereafter.

Acquired from a french private collection in the 80's.
-The piece includes an authenticity certificate as well as Spanish export license ( Passport for European Union ) and TL test.
