High dignitary standing, Tang Dynasty, China, 7th - 9th century

Descriptio Terracotta with traces of slip and polychromy. Sculpture depicting a dignitary standing on a mound, dressed in a long tunic over trousers that fall over his shoes, and wearing a high-ranking official’s hat. The hieratic treatment of the posture, the frontality of the figure, and the stylized folds reflect the formal language of Tang Dynasty funerary statuary. The surface retains traces of slip and ancient polychromy, revealing the work’s original appearance and its symbolic function within the funerary assemblage.
