June Exceptional Estates Auction
Lot 109:
Description
Ancient hollow terracotta standing figure with tall headdress, mounted on integral flared pedestal with relief figures. Measures about 16-1/2″ high. Traces of black over white wash. Some red shows through. Initially thought to be a Chinese mingqi, but fits less as a funerary figure and more of a religious one. Precise period unknown. Provenance: From the estate of Jean Wilson, who — along with her friend Elizabeth Otey Watson — donated a large number of Asian ceramics and bronzes to build the collection of Washington & Lee University’s Watson Pavilion. This item will need to be shipped by a packing company of your choice. We maintain a list of reliable shippers, or you may choose your own.
