ANCIENT HAN DYNASTY WARRIOR POTTERY TOMB FIGURE
An ancient Chinese Han Dynasty hollow molded grey and terracotta pottery ceramic tomb figurine of a warrior rider sitting on a horse. The warrior is decorated with a painted tunic. He would have originally held a wooden bow in between his hands. He is riding a sculpted white horse. Tombs of the Han dynasty were typically furnished with model figures and other objects believed to be necessary for a safe journey to the afterlife. Historical records indicate that when important military officials died, the imperial Han court would give them elaborate funerals, including a full military cortege. It is likely that this figure of a horse and rider was originally part of a model funerary retinue comprised of soldiers and cavalrymen that would have been placed in such a tomb. Han Dynasty, circa 221 BC to 220 AD. Museum pieces. Antique Asian Oriental Pottery Ceramic Earthen Wares For Collectors.
