Chinese Han Dynasty Terracotta Heads with Original Paint on Lucite - Set of 5

Description

A set of five Chinese Han dynasty painted terracotta heads circa 202 BC-200 AD, all showing slight variations and mounted on custom made Lucite stands. The set is priced at $2,950, but we are also willing to sell them individually for $590 each. Crafted in China during the prestigious Han dynasty, this set of terracotta heads features their original painted finish. Their black hair tied in the back with center parting, these terracotta Han heads are mounted on new custom made Lucite bases. With their nicely weathered appearance and original pigmentation, this set of five Chinese Han dynasty terracotta heads will be a great decorative addition to any home, perhaps displayed in a bookcase, on a console table or credenza.
