CHINESE TANG DYNASTY TERRACOTTA FOREIGNER - TL TESTED
Ca. AD 618 - 907. A large terracotta figure representing a standing Sogdian merchant with exaggerated facial features, including a furrowed brow, bulging eyes, full beard, and prominent nose. He wears a pointed cap that fits snugly around the head, obscuring the hair. The figure is shown in an active stance, with both arms bent and fists clenched. He is dressed in a short-sleeved tunic secured with a broad sash over long trousers. The garment is decorated with incised folds and faint traces of red pigment visible on the sleeves and lower robe. He stands firmly on a rectangular base with his legs set wide apart. Size: L:620mm / W:260mm ; 6.05kg Provenance: UK private collection; formerly acquired in the early 1990s in Hong Kong. This item has been cleared against the Art Loss Register database and comes with a confirmation letter. This piece has been precisely dated using a thermoluminescence analysis carried out by Ralf Kotalla. The report will accompany the lot.
