Item Details
Description
East Asia, China, Ming Dynasty, ca. 1368 to 1644 CE. An elaborate pottery throne decorated with vibrant orange, brown, and green glaze. The openwork base features an integral footrest, and the backpiece is adorned with a large flower above a tall bell.

These thrones were tangible expressions of the complex beliefs and practices that shaped Han Dynasty society. Size: 4.75" L x 5.2" W x 8.7" H (12.1 cm x 13.2 cm x 22.1 cm)
