Ancient Chinese, Tang Dynasty Terracotta 罕见的淡琥珀釉陶俑：一位宫廷女子 - 20 cm

罕见的浅琥珀色釉陶庭伎俑女官

中国，隋朝至唐初，6世纪–7世纪
高：20厘米

finely modelled standing in an elegant and restrained pose, the slender court lady is depicted with her hands gently clasped before the waist, dressed in a long, flowing robe falling in softly delineated vertical folds and opening slightly towards the base. A short outer garment is draped over the shoulders, its edges and sleeves carefully articulated.

细致刻画的站姿，端庄克制，身姿纤长的宫廷女官被描绘为双手在腰前自然并拢，身着长袍，袍身在垂直褶线处以柔和的轮廓呈现，底部略微张开。肩部披着短外衣，边缘与袖口均作了精细的描绘。

The elongated figure is surmounted by a delicately modelled head with serene, finely defined facial features, including gently arched brows, almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose and small pursed lips. Her hair is swept upwards into a distinctive high chignon, characteristic of the changing aristocratic fashions of the late 6th and early 7th centuries.

这尊修长的雕像头部以精致的雕塑手法呈现，面部表情安详，五官轮廓清晰：眉形轻弯，眼如杏仁，鼻梁笔直，双唇微合。发髻高竖，整齐高耸，体现6世纪末至7世纪初贵族时尚的变迁。

The figure is covered overall in an attractive pale amber to straw-yellow lead glaze, now softly iridescent and extensively crackled with age. Areas of natural wear reveal the pale pottery body beneath, particularly around the lower robe and foot, lending the surface a beautifully time-softened appearance. Subtle variations within the glaze, together with traces of burial accretion and age-related surface alteration, enhance the sculptural modelling.

全身覆盖着迷人的浅琥珀色至稻黄的铅质釉，现已呈现柔和的光泽与广泛的岁月裂纹。自然磨损处露出浅色陶体，尤以下襤、脚部最为明显，使表面呈现出时光沉淀般的美感。釉面中的微小差异，加上埋藏沉积和年久表面变化的痕迹，增进了雕塑的立体感。

The restrained proportions, high-waisted costume, elongated silhouette and formal coiffure are characteristic of female attendant figures produced during the transitional period between the Sui and early Tang dynasties. Such figures formed part of the sophisticated funerary assemblages created for members of the aristocracy and elite, intended to accompany and serve the deceased in the afterlife.

克制的比例、高腰服饰、修长的身形以及正式的发饰，是隋唐之交时期女性侍立像的特征。这类雕像是贵族与上层社会成员的复杂葬陪陈列品的一部分，旨在陪伴并为逝者在来世服务。

Monochrome glazed court figures of this early date are considerably less frequently encountered than the later sancai-glazed pottery figures associated with the mature Tang dynasty, making surviving examples particularly appealing.

此类早期单色釉宫廷俑比后期成熟唐代的三彩釉陶俑少见得多，因此留存的样品尤具吸引力。

Condition

Very good condition considering the age. The figure remains intact, with no major breaks or losses. There are several old firing and age-related hairline cracks, including to the coiffure and reverse of the body, visible in the photographs. Expected extensive craquelure and areas of wear, flaking and loss to the glaze, particularly towards the base, together with surface abrasions and minor burial-related accretions. No significant restoration apparent from visual inspection.

状况

就年龄而言非常良好。镬体完整，无重大断裂或缺失。可见若干旧焰烧痕与年龄所致的细裂纹，包括发髻处与体背部，照片可见。釉面有广泛的龟裂、磨损、剥落，基部尤为明显，同时伴随表面擦痕与少量埋藏相关的附着物。从肉眼观察并无明显修复痕迹。

The overall state of preservation is remarkably attractive for a glazed pottery figure of this early period, retaining much of its original pale amber-yellow glaze and an especially elegant, complete silhouette.

就这一早期时期的釉陶俑而言，其整体保存状态极具吸引力，保留了大部分原始的浅琥珀黄釉，轮廓优雅完整。
