About the Item

These striking Chinese sculptures, crafted in glazed terracotta, represent the refinement and elegance of traditional Chinese ceremonial art. Each figure is depicted wearing long green enamelled robes, with the head modeled separately and adorned with a tall, tapered hat, reflecting the formal attire of officials or dignitaries. The figures stand firmly on hexagonal bases, emphasizing their presence and enhancing display stability. While the sculptures remain in excellent overall condition, they do exhibit some defects and evidence of old restorations, which are consistent with their age and historical usage. The total height of the ensemble reaches 56 cm, making them visually impressive and highly decorative. These works combine historical significance, artistic craftsmanship, and cultural authenticity, offering both collectors and institutions a rare opportunity to acquire representative examples of traditional Chinese glazed terracotta sculpture from an earlier period.
