AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
1. Stylistic Features
The figure stands upright with a strong frontal stance, a slender physique, and is covered in robes. The folds of the clothing are depicted using groups of incised lines. The hands are concealed within the sleeves. The overall style is simple and archaic. The form and treatment of the clothing exhibit the aesthetic characteristics of figure sculptures from the Sui and Tang dynasties (judging by style).
The overall color scheme is a mixture of earthy yellow and grayish brown, presenting a natural and serene texture, rather than being a later addition, exuding an ancient charm accumulated over many years.
Catawiki disclaimer: This object has been dated based on style by the seller . No further tests, such as, a TL test, lapidary tests, analysis of pigments or radiography scans have been conducted to check the integrity of the piece.
