East Asia, China, Tang Dynasty, ca. 618 to 906 CE. A hollow-molded pottery male figure standing with puffy shoes atop an integral rectangular plinth. The figure wears an ankle length robe that is belted at the waist and holds one arm out as if holding the reins of a horse. His amicable countenance features narrow eyes beneath thick brows, an aquiline nose with flared nostrils, thick lips colored with faint pink pigment, and a narrow cap surmounted by a pair of spherical bulbs. Thick golden sancai glaze covers most of the body and head, with his hands, feet, and only half of the head being unglazed. This figure represents a horse groom of foreign origin meant as the husband for a woman of nobility or wealth.
