Tang Dynasty polychromed fat lady with child in arm. Terracotta, pottery Tang Dynasty (618- 907AD)) Measures: Height: 20.2 inches (51cm) Width: 9.45 inches (24cm) Guaranteed Authentic with COA Condition: Excellent with loss to pinky and wear commensurate of age.

The artworks created during this era are among China’s greatest cultural achievements. It was the greatest age for Chinese poetry...
