Ancient Chinese Han Dynasty Terracotta Rooster Mingqi on Wood Stand, Burial

Description: This nicely molded Eastern Han Dynasty dark earthenware statuette of a cockerel captures the refined craftsmanship of Han burial objects, known as mingqi, which were made to accompany the deceased into the afterlife. Standing on a cylindrical base and later wood stand, this figure was likely intended to symbolize good fortune and protection in the next world, as animal figures held special significance in Han funerary practices. Traces of original red pigments are still faintly visible on the surface, though most have faded over time, giving the piece an aged patina that speaks to its ancient origins. Measuring 16 cm in height, the statuette shows a small loss to one wing, yet retains an impressive level of detail and form, characteristic of Han Dynasty terracotta. We recommend viewing all the photos before buying. We are also happy to answer any questions to help you make the right decision. Thank you for considering this piece from Taliesin Antiques.
