Chinese Tang Dynasty Style Painted Pottery Court Lady Figure in Shadow Box

$420

Antiques & Decorative Arts · Tang Dynasty style (618–907 AD); likely 20th-century reproduction or export piece

A standing Chinese court lady figure modeled in painted earthenware, depicting a slender female attendant in flowing robes with hands clasped before her body and hair dressed in a stacked topknot — a style characteristic of Tang Dynasty funerary mingqi. The polychrome pigments in cream, ochre, and green show significant flaking and wear consistent with age or deliberate distressing, and the figure is professionally shadow-box mounted behind glass in a black wood frame for wall display. While the iconography and style closely follow authentic Tang Dynasty court lady figures (618–907 AD), the presentation, regularity of form, and surface treatment are more consistent with a high-quality 20th-century reproduction or decorative export piece rather than a genuine archaeological artifact.
