High quality figure, representing a court lady in a reverent position, made in terracotta. The Han Dynasty ruled China for more than four centuries, during which China''s political, social and economic structures were consolidated, leading the country to the most glorious stage in its history. Regarding the art of this moment, it continues to be eminently funerary, although it reflects the very high artistic level that will be reached both in the capitals and in the provinces. These preserved objects give us insight into the daily life and customs of the time, as art becomes much more mundane than the bronzes of the Zhou and Shang eras. The structures of the tombs are also changed: the Shang were vertical, while the Han will be built as underground palaces. They were decorated with reliefs stamped with scenes from the life of the deceased, and a new material was incorporated as an artistic support: lacquer. However, the most famous today is Han ceramic production, in terracotta and decorated with cold-applied slips, mainly black and red. 73cm high
