Product Information
This exquisite piece, designed in the style of the illustrious Tang Dynasty (618-907 CE), embodies the richness and depth of Chinese history. Fashioned with meticulous attention to detail, the sculpture depicts a male attendant in traditional attire, a testament to the social fabric of Tang China. Standing at approximately 15.5 inches in height, the sculpture captivates with its intricate detailing. It’s skillfully crafted from high-quality terracotta, a nod to the earthy medium popularly used during the Tang Dynasty. The figure’s robe cascades elegantly, featuring precise and careful incisions that emulate the folds of fabric, creating an image of flowing motion that adds a lifelike dimension to the static piece.
The attendant’s expression is rendered with understated sophistication. A calm and serene demeanor is accentuated by delicately modeled facial features, with his almond-shaped eyes, a traditional, slender nose, and a gentle, confident smile. His hair, styled in a low bun – a typical hairstyle of the era – provides an additional touch of authenticity. One of the most striking features is the polychrome finish, a characteristic hallmark of Tang Dynasty art.
Traces of white, red, and black pigment are detectable, suggesting the figure was once colorfully adorned. Over time, these colors have faded, leaving behind an intriguing patina that whispers tales of antiquity. The figurine is depicted holding a ceremonial object, indicative of the attendant’s role in courtly affairs and showing the elevated status of such figures in Tang society. This symbolic accessory provides further insight into the practices and traditions of the era. This Chinese Tang Dynasty Style Male Attendant Figural Sculpture is a magnificent conversation piece, combining historical significance with superb craftsmanship. It’s more than a mere decorative item, but a tangible connection to the past, a proud representative of an era noted for its artistic brilliance and cultural influence.
