Rare Zhou Figure

ancient chinese terracotta figurine army

5.50cm wide    15.00cm high    (2.17 inches wide  5.91 inches high)

Funerary figures from the Zhou Dynasty are extremely rare, consequently there are few comparable examples. The tomb of Li Xian (c. AD 569), a general in the army uncovered in 1983 at Guyuan, in Ningxia Autonomous region afforded us a few examples of guardian warriors which can now be viewed in the Guyuan Museum.

In excellent condition; a few minor marks here and there.
