| Description |
English: Funerary Figurines (mingqi). Han Dynasty, Yangling Museum, Xi'an
Over 40,000 of these two-foot-tall, ceramic figures were buried in the tomb of Emperor Jingdi (157-141 BC), fourth emperor of the Western Han dynasty. Originally the figures were fully clothed and fitted with wooden arms, which have since decayed. Many writers have observed the "anatomical correctness" of the male figures. Some are castrated eunuchs and others are intact; in either case, it was desired to portray them in death as in life. |
