C124k5 is consistent with the dating of this lot.倫敦私人收藏;本拍品經牛津熱釋光檢測編號C124k5,結果與其斷代相符。 It is well known that the potters of the Tang dynasty took great delight in depicting the unusual characters that arrived in China along the flourishing trade routes. Figures of foreign grooms are often seen, as are servants and entertainers. Dwarves, however, are very rare. They were mostly sent from Africa, Japan or Southeast Asian kingdoms to the Tang court or nobility as tribute gifts; see 'Appreciate the painted pottery dwarfs in the collection of the Zhaoling Museum’ in World of Antiquity, 2017(05), pp. 58-61. The facial features of this pottery figure are distinctly non-Chinese and have been slightly exaggerated for effect. A comparable example, similar in size, gesture, facial expression and costume, is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, accession number: 1985.208.6. Another closely comparable example was in the Seligman Collection and now in the collection of the British Museum, registration number: 1973,0726.187.
