Description

Standing, with colour-accentuated facial features, wearing a flat black cap on his removable head. His hands are folded at chest height under his red-painted jacket, likely once resting on a sword, with two ornamented straps across his shoulders. For a long time, such figures were thought to be representations of civil officials. However, according to new archaeological findings, they are ‘Zhige’ figures, military commanders-in-chief, who were awarded by the emperor to members of the imperial family and high-ranking persons of the Northern Dynasties to be placed in the tomb as gatekeepers. For a stylistically similar figure from an imperial tomb in Wanzhang, Hebei Province, see: Jiang Ziqian, ‘Beichao muzang zhongde zhige yu yidao’. Gugong bowu yuankan, 2024/6, 266, p. 90.
