ALSO  PLEASE NOTE

There are hardly any items for sale beyond page 29 on the gallery here.

I have left so many sold items on show (and in the sold archive) as many collectors have said they find such photos and information useful to have.

A similar pair of Tang dynasty terracotta figures of grooms.
I chose these from a group of various figurines because they make such a nice pair: as if engaged in conversation together!

They have the traditional  futou hat  and wear long robes pulled in at the
waist and show the protective leg-wear grooms wore while attending to
the horses.

Both intact with much of the original paint on one.

Small chip off the base on one.

Both standing at  280mm.

618-907 AD

From my own collection.
Acquired over 25 years ago from major London antiquities dealer.


I would prefer to sell them together as a nicely matching pair but if you want only one of them, get in touch.
Price: 595 GBP
