This impressive and very rare pottery model of a warrior was made during the Western Jin Dynasty (AD 265 - 316), although some publications incorrectly attribute such figures to the earlier Han Dynasty. It is quite "heavily-potted" and made from a fine-grained grey pottery that has been "cold painted" in various coloured pigments, good traces of which still remain. He stands as though in the act of throwing a spear. Note the grotesque features of the face and the detail of the clothing. There are good traces of ancient root/plant growths from its long burial, especially on the lower part.

Height 43 cm (17 inches). There is no sign of any restoration or repair, as is supported by shining a torch into the hollow body. This is a superb example in truly exceptional condition.
