Important Pair of Polychrome Han Warriors

About the Item

Important pair of rare polychrome Han warriors. These are from the Han Dynasty. Uniquely expressive faces with lots of detail. They have expressive squinted eyes, a small nose, and detailed mouths with some facial hair on the upper lip, as well as the chin. Paint colors used include red, and dark blue. There is minimal paint loss on the warriors. Paint loss is commensurate with age. Both in similar positions, with one arm/hand down, and the other bended up. The hands are in the shape of fists. Lucite stands included. These were tested for dating by Daybreak Acrhaeometric Labratory Services in CT back in 1998. See photo of the documented thermoluminescence from Daybreak Archaeometric Laboratory Services, dating places these at 2740 +/- 570 years ago from the date it was done in 1998. Each supported by a discrete Lucite stand. These came from a local estate. Size: 7 x 18 1/2 x 8 in.
