Description
Terracotta with paint. China, Tang-Dynasty (618 – 907)
The standing, around 1200 year old figurine wears a floor length, heavily crinkled garment and is holding its hands together in front of its chest. On this spot is a white rat, somewhat furry, the ears are barely indicated. The full and thereby majestic face of the court official is very much characteristic for the Tang-period and its courtly high culture. The accentuated tall, formerly black hat emphasizes the courtly high official. The white base and lovely rests of red and black pigments from the old coating remain preserved.
