Han Dynasty Attendant

Description
A rare and Early Han Dynasty Attendant.
Attendants of this type, thought to be servants for the deceased, have been excavated from burial pits near the Western Han capital of Chang’an (modern Xi’an). This example of early Han ceramic sculpture depicting the human form represents a tradition of funerary sculpture production related to the Qin dynasty (221–206 b.c.) terracotta warrior figures found at the First Emperor’s tomb also near Xi’an.
