This amazing surviving Han Dynasty treasure is just like the one the Chinese government loaned the Guggenheim in New York for the IBM sponsored exhibit. It was prominently displayed on one of the precious circular stairway spaces, along with the one terracotta army figure from Xian,
He is made of baked terracotta and has considerable traces of the original polychrome decoration. He is holding a sword or staff. Wonderful example of clothing and accessories from the western Han Dynasty . Very pleasant facial expression and details.
Included is a ThermoLuminescent Certificate which irrefutably authenticates the age. Includes custom display stand.
