About the Item

A stoneware figure depicting a seated armored warrior with a striking pose circa 15th-17th century. He is likely one of the four heavenly kings, the protective guardians widely worshiped in China. This figure was heavily molded by hand and the surface was carved and decorated with green and yellow dripping glaze. The warrior's face features large bulging eyes, a third eye in between, puffed cheeks and two prominent bushy eyebrows, these slightly None-Chinese traits may be from the Classic Buddhism sculptures influenced from India, which give him a more severe look. In Ming dynasty (14th-17th century), this type of stoneware figures was widely used in daily life such as on the altar, as well as funeral items placed in the tomb to protect the deceased in their afterlife. They all have a realistic yet slightly rustic folksy charm to their styling.

Chinese Stoneware Funeral Shrine Model and Figure Ming Dynasty

Located in Atlanta, GA

A stoneware shrine model with a figurine made in Ming dynasty (15th-17th century) in China and used as funeral burial objects. It is not known whether the two objects were originally associated, but they display similar glaze and oxidation and were in the same collection. The stoneware building is an architectural rendering of a typical ancestor shrine used at the time. It features a single room behind an elaborate front with double doors, under a multiple layered eaves. There are great architectural and decorative details throughout. The green glaze shows a wonderful silvery oxidation, an indication that the piece was buried in the ground. The side appears to be glazed lightly originally and some scrape marks and oxidized glaze residues remains. The back is unglazed. The figure is a typical tomb figurine...
