CHINESE HAN DYNASTY TERRACOTTA LADY - TL TESTED
Ca. 202 BC - AD 220.A Han dynasty terracotta court lady figure. The lady is dressed in a Quju robe, otherwise known as curving-front robe, worn with a belt. Her hair is tied into a fashionable two-side knot. This type of dress was worn during formal occasions, and would be less convenient to move around in compared to daily robes. The robe is covered with red pigments, and the colour red was a respectable color during the period. The figure on the right has been precisely dated using a thermoluminescence analysis carried out by Ralf Kotalla. The report will accompany the lot.Size: 750mm x 260mm; Weight: 11.33kgProvenance: Property of an American collector, acquired from a US estate collection. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter.
