A grey pottery figure of a soldier
Northern Wei Dynasty
Dynamically modelled with his legs set a full stride apart, his arm upraised as if throwing a spear, wearing a long tunic with rolled-back sleeves over baggy trousers, his head turned sharply over one shoulder and carved with large rounded eyes beneath arched brows, the mouth open showing well detailed teeth, and trim beard, all beneath a headdress tied on top of his head. 39cm (15 1/4in) high.
