Object Description
A pair of finely glazed, hollow-moulded ceramic Ming male court attendants who are depicted wearing typical Ming court robes with rich folds and detailed draperies along their garments. Each figure is portrayed wearing a typical high court cap, standing on a glazed octagonal base in a solemn and sincere pose. One of their arms naturally extends downward, the hand concealed under the edges of the flared, loose sleeves, whilst the other hand forms a tight fist in front of their chests. Their facial features are rendered delicately, with clearly engraved eyes and nostrils, with sensual lips painted in pinkish-red pigments.
The price is for the pair.
