East Asia, China, Ming Dynasty, ca. 1368 to 1644 CE. A pair of charming tomb attendants, both mold made ceramic with beautiful glazed pigment. Each represents a man, standing with his feet apart, dressed in a long blue tunic with a sky blue sash. Both have heavy boots and conical hats with thick brims. Their faces are nearly identical, frozen in calm expressions with wide open eyes. Each holds a fascinating implement, suggesting that he is a merchant or trader of some kind. For example, one holds what appears to be a brick. Hundreds of pottery figures like these were placed into tombs during the Ming period. These objects appeal to us because they are a window to the past, showing us the clothing styles and activities of the past.
