Ming Dynasty Pottery Male Servant Figure
Circa 14th-17th century AD
This lovely pottery figure of a male servant stands atop an unglazed base. The figure is adorned in a long navy robe, gracefully crossed at the neck, featuring contrasting pale blue elements along the lower edge and the back. The robe extends just above the black boots. The figure wears a high hat with a brim, beneath which emerges black hair. The facial features present a pleasant appearance, characterized by narrow eyes with defined black arched eyebrows, a well-proportioned nose, and slightly pursed lips accentuated with red pigment.
Mingqi, the funerary figures, were crafted to accompany the deceased into the afterlife. Mingqi represented various aspects of daily life, including servants, soldiers, musicians, and animals. These figures were believed to serve the departed in the afterworld, ensuring their continued comfort and well-being. The shapes of mingqi varied widely, reflecting the diversity of roles and activities present in the earthly realm. The inclusion of such figures in tombs aimed to reflect the deceased's familiar surroundings, emphasizing the importance of continuity and the preservation of earthly comforts beyond the mortal realm.
