Warrior in Armour - very nice and pretty - Ancient China, Han Dynasty, 2nd - 1st Century BC Terracotta and pigments 54 cm height Provenance: - Private colecction, Bordeaux, 1970’s. Condition: Good, see photos. The Han Dynasty was the second imperial dynasty of China (206 BC–220 AD), and its art is notable for aiming to give form to everyday people and objects. It was a period of significant economic growth, and this facilitated discovery and innovation: technical possibilities in the arts increased as a result, enabling artists to push boundaries. The art of the Han dynasty is largely decorative – a shift away from the functional, ritualistic art of the previous Qin dynasty.
