Lot 97
Ca. 1368-1644 AD. Ming Dynasty. A beautifully glazed terracotta standing warrior wearing a long draping gown of rich cobalt and turquoise blue colour. The warrior is wearing heavy boots and a conical hat with a thick brim. His face shows a serene expression with open eyes and a gentle smile. He is holding a maze in each hand. This type of figurines were tomb attendants, a class of artefacts called 'mingqi' - sometimes known as "spirit utensils" or "vessels for ghosts". They became popular in the Han Dynasty and would persist for several centuries. Alongside figures like this one were musicians, athletes, and animals. Mingqi often show a high level of detail and naturalism. These were designed to assist the 'po', the part of the soul of the deceased that remained underground with the body while the 'hun', the other part of the soul, ascended. Hundreds of pottery figures like these were placed into tombs during the Ming period. In one undisturbed Ming Dynasty prince's tomb, archaeologists found an array of small figures placed as if in ceremonial procession; the deceased's books, paintings, clothing, and other personal effects were also present. Good condition. For a general overview of the art of the Ming Dynasty, see Department of Asian Art. (2000). "Ming Dynasty (1368-1644)." In Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History.
