Measuring 25.5cm (h), this detailed decorative statue depicts a serene young figure in traditional Chinese court attire, with robes and a traditional topknot hairstyle. Stylistically, the piece is modeled after the iconic ceramic or carved stone mingqi funerary figures of the Tang Dynasty (618-907AD). These figures were placed in tombs as 'spirit goods' to represent attendants, dancers, or musicians who would serve the deceased in the afterlife, symbolizing status and harmony.This specific piece captures the classic aesthetic of these ancient treasures. It features a muted, matte light grey tone with a lightly textured, aged finish, giving it the rustic, ancient appearance of carved limestone or unearthed pottery. The underside of the figure shows an incised signature mark and includes protective felt pads, making it a sophisticated decorative addition for any collector of Asian art revivals.
