Pair Large Chinese Ming Dynasty Glazed and Painted Pottery Figures, 16th Century
Located in Austin, TX
A striking pair of large Chinese glazed and painted pottery figures, Ming Dynasty (1368 to 1644), circa 16th century, China.
The impressive and realistically modeled figures each portrayed standing upright upon a sancai (three color) glazed pedestal of kang table form.
The man is dressed in a short black surcoat over a long robe and pants, a smart cap upon his head. His face is warm and welcoming, with wide eyes and a slight smile on his lips. He holds his hands out in front of him, palms up, almost as if shrugging, though presumably originally holding an object or offering, now lost.
The woman of slightly smaller stature, and dressed in a longer surcoat over a long robe and skirt. She wears a fitted cap upon her head. Her hands also held out in front, grasping long lost objects. Her face is slightly more severe, with a somewhat pinched look, and slight frown upon her lips.
The size of these figures is remarkable, as is the realism and attention to detail, almost as if they were modeled after real people, as opposed to the more common and generic Ming Dynasty pottery...

Polychrome carved wooden sculpture of Saint Sebastian, late 16th century. JUAN D
Located in Madrid, ES
"Polychrome carved wooden sculpture of Saint Sebastian, late 16th century. JUAN DE JUNI"
Attributed to: Circle of Juan de Juni (Valladolid School)
Date: Circa 1580-1600
Material: Carved wood and gilded polychrome (estofado)
Dimensions: 73 x 33 x 21 cm
Origin: Spain
Description:
A powerful late Renaissance depiction of Saint Sebastian, masterfully carved in wood and richly polychromed and gilded (estofado technique). This Spanish sculpture, probably from the late 16th century, displays expressive anatomy, emotional tension, and dramatic movement—stylistic traits strongly associated with the school of Juan de Juni, a leading figure in Castilian sculpture of the period.
Sebastian is depicted half-naked, tied to a tree trunk, with traces of blood and arrows, symbols of his martyrdom. The sculpture demonstrates a high level of craftsmanship, particularly in the modeling of the torso, the twisted posture, and the naturalistic treatment of the face and hair.
The piece retains much of its original polychromy and gilding, with some expected age-related losses. It has undergone preventive conservation treatment to ensure its structural stability while preserving its historical authenticity.
Condition:
Generally good condition considering its age. Some loss of polychromy and gilding is visible, particularly on the torso and base, but the sculpture retains a remarkable degree of originality. A professional restoration was carried out to strengthen and preserve the structure.
Provenance: Private collection, Spain.
Juan de Juni (circa 1507-1577) was a renowned sculptor and architect of French origin, probably born in Joigny, Burgundy, France. Although born in France, he spent most of his career in Spain, where he became one of the major figures of 16th-century Spanish religious sculpture...

SAINT AFRE OF AUGSBURG
ORIGIN : SOUTHERN GERMANY
PERIOD : 16th CENTURY
Height : 119 cm
Width : 50 cm
Depth : 28 cm
Limewood
Good state of conservation
Patron Saint of the city and the diocese of Augsburg, the oldest traces of her worship date back to the 6th century.
There are several versions of his legend. She is sometimes identified as the daughter of a king of Cyprus whose violent and unexpected death forced her and her mother, Hilaria, to flee. They went to Augsburg via Rome. Others see her origins in Africa instead, her name meaning African in Latin.
Settled in Augsburg, they became the owners of a notorious inn where they traded in their charms.
Bishop Narcissus of Girona, accompanied by his deacon Felix, found refuge there one day, fleeing the persecution of Emperor Diocletian. As the two men prayed devoutly, Afre was touched by grace and asked to be baptized. She then left her old life and embraced the Christian faith.
When the Roman authorities learned of his new vocation, they exhorted her to worship the old gods and to deny the Christian faith. She refused to renounce her faith and was sentenced to be burned alive. Her sentence was applied immediately and she suffered her mart...
