Item Description:
- Origin: China, Ming Dynasty
- Date: 1368 - 1644 CE
- Size: Each figure is approximately 2.5 inches in diameter
- Notes: These Ming dynasty tomb figures are glazed in the traditional sancai (“three-color”) palette of amber, green, and cream, a decorative technique prized for its luminous, flowing surface. Created in the 15th–16th centuries, sancai offerings were placed in tombs to provide the deceased with attendants and comforts in the afterlife. They often depicted servants, officials, animals, or guardians, reflecting both the worldly status of the tomb’s occupant and the spiritual importance of ensuring a prosperous existence beyond death. These figures stand as vivid examples of Ming funerary art, blending symbolic purpose with exceptional ceramic craftsmanship.
