EDITORS COMMENTS
This Funerary Sculpture of a Noble Lady, dating between the 7th and 8th centuries, hails from the Asian continent, specifically from China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD). The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its enigmatic allure. This earthenware figurine, with its molded form and intricately incised decoration, showcases the rich artistic heritage of ancient China. The noblewoman is depicted in a dignified and poised stance, dressed in traditional attire, with her hair elegantly styled. The sculpture is decorated with incising and traces of white slip and paint, adding depth and texture to the figure. The lady's face is serene and expressive, conveying a sense of calm and tranquility. This sculpture was likely created for use in funerary rituals, reflecting the high status and wealth of the deceased. The use of molded earthenware with incised decoration and paint was a common practice during the Tang Dynasty, and this figurine is a typical example of the decorative arts of the time. The Funerary Sculpture of a Noble Lady is now on exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is a cherished addition to their extensive collection of Asian art. This sculpture is a testament to the enduring legacy of Chinese art and culture, and a reminder of the rich history that continues to influence the arts today.
