A Chinese Sancai glazed pottery figure of a Western groom, Tang dynasty, modelled standing, his face with a concentrated expression, a splash of yellow glaze to his cap, his left arm raised as if to hold a rein, wearing an ochre and green glazed tunic tied at the waist, on a clear perspex base, 61.5cm high including base, 58.5cm excluding base, see Bonhams London, Fine Asian Art, 8th June 2004, lot 70
Restored. It would appear that the restoration is just below the figure's waist and has been done to a very high, museum quality standard. There are two thermoluminescence drill holes, one behind the right ear, the other located underneath the base of his jacket, unfortunately, no certificate accompanies this piece. It stands firmly and evenly unsupported.
