A GREY POTTERY FIGURE OF A SOLDIER
Northern Wei Dynasty
Dynamically modelled with his legs set a full stride
apart, his arm upraised as if throwing a spear,
wearing a long tunic with rolled-back sleeves over
baggy trousers, his head turned sharply over one
shoulder and carved with large rounded eyes beneath
arched brows, the mouth open showing well detailed
teeth, and trim beard, all beneath a headdress tied on
top of his head.
39cm (15 1/4in) high.
