Three soldiers; China, Mig Dynasty, AD 1368-1644.Terracotta with engobes and Sankai glaze.It is in a good state of preservation.Measurements: 24 x 9 x 6 cm (x3).Set of three soldiers destined for a funerary trousseau, all of them made in terracotta with engobes and Sankai glaze. This style, whose name literally means 'three colours', is based on the use of two glazes or lead glazes, copper-oxide green and iron-honey, complemented by the ivory-coloured engobe of the base. These types of grave goods, both figurines and vessels, were called 'mingqi' ('shiny object'). The Ming dynasty is one of the longest periods in Chinese history, lasting approximately three centuries. After the Yuan period of foreign domination, the Ming period saw the re-establishment of traditional Chinese values. The seventeen emperors of this dynasty reigned in a state of relative peace and prosperity and belonged to the Han ethnic group (the majority in China), as did the civil service. The economy was transformed from an agrarian to a fully mercantile state at the end of the dynasty.
