AN EXCEEDINGLY RARE POTTERY GROUP OF FOREIGN LIUBO PLAYERS, EASTERN HAN DYNASTY

China, 25-220 AD. The group comprises three bearded foreign men kneeling before a low table set with a liubo board, each with their arms and hands held in animated poses, wearing a flat cap and dressed in loose-fitting robes, all supported on a separately modeled rectangular base with a raised rim. Each element is covered in a fine, slightly iridescent green glaze. (5)

Provenance
: From a private collection in West Yorkshire, United Kingdom, assembled during the 1970s and 1980s.
Condition: Condition commensurate with age. Some repairs to the hands, feet, and beard, with associated touchups, as generally expected from Han dynasty excavations. Extensive wear, weathering and erosion to the glaze and ware from long-time burial. Few minor chips, small losses, and firing cracks.

Weight: 7.7 kg
Dimensions: Height ca. 15.5 cm (the figures), Size 18.3 x 16.1 cm (the Liubo table) and 53.6 x 36.6 cm (the base)

The ancient Chinese game of Liubo (game of six sticks) was immensely popular during the latter part of the Warring States period and throughout the Han dynasty, but later faded into oblivion. However, in recent years there have been a considerable number of archaeological discoveries of the remains of Liubo boards and game equipment in tombs dating to the Warring States and Han dynasty periods, as well as a number of funerary statuettes of Liubo players.

Literature comparison:
Compare a closely related green glazed pottery model of Liubo players, dated to the Eastern Han period, in the Harvard Art Museum, object number 2003.174.E.
