Tang Dynasty Standing Official with Oxford TL Certificate

About the Item

Provenance: a Park Avenue collection Chinese Tang Dynasty painted pottery figure of a standing official. This tomb burial figure was made as part of a large group of objects to accompany the dead into the afterlife with all they had in life.

Oxford TL certification accompanies.
