- Chinese Pottery Ceramic Glazed Mud Figure of Court Lady Tang Dynasty with StandLocated in Studio City, CASimply gorgeous and so delicately and beautifully made. This work has been molded in a whitish, dense terra cotta, typical of the region of the capital of Luoyang, and then attractively glazed over with various yellow, green, brown, amber, colored glazes. We are not sure how to date this work. We believe, based on comparisons, that this piece could date as far back as the Tang dynasty (though we are not experts and have not had this verified by one. Again, this is not our area of expertise). The white terracotta and glaze appear correct as does the figures stately pose and elaborate hairstyle which was a characteristic feature of Tang pottery women. The people of ancient China believed that some part of the essence and life force of a human being was contained in the hair. Much time and effort went into this to create elaborate coiffures that the woman proudly displayed when in public. The Tang dynasty is also the only period in Chinese History to have known a female sovereign - The Empress Wu Zetian (625-706). Comes with lucite display stand...Category
