Sui-Tang Dynasty Painted Clay Statuette of a Man Performing Martial Arts. Possibly an 18th or 19th Century Revival Imitative. CLASSIFICATION: Painted Pottery Statuette. ATTRIBUTION: In the Style of Ancient China. Sui-Tang Dynasty, 7th Century A.D. SIZE/MEASUREMENTS: Height: 176 millimeters(7+ inches) Breadth: 125 millimeters(5 inches) Depth: 72 millimeters(2 7/8 inches) CONDITION: Very good. Head was broken off and reattached by our conservator. Virtually all of the paint has oxidized/decomposed. A little wear and a few blemishes consistent with any votive/funerary item which is 1.400 years old. Some encrusted dirt which could be gently brushed away with a toothbrush. Not flawless, but certainly in a better than average state of preservation– and unrepaired! Stands on its own. DETAIL: A nicely preserved clay statuette so wonderfully characteristic of Sui-Tang Dynasty statuary. The statuette depicts a man performing a martial arts move. Something akin to contemporary“mushu” The roots of mushu martial arts extends back at least 4,000 years, and this statuette reflects that heritage. Once painted, it appears that the body was perhaps painted all white or principally white, as it seems that there remains some residual paint beneath the soil deposition layer. However most of the paint this statuette originally possessed has oxidized/decomposed. It does stand on its own, but precariously, you would want to give it some support or something to lean on, as otherwise it does topple easily. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Production of both painted and sancai glazed figurines dominated the pottery scene, and their production continued well into the Ming era which advanced the art with more intense colors and finer porcelain clay.
