Painted Pottery Figurine
Han Dynasty
(206 B.C - A.D. 220)
Generally speaking,
figurines were made as
grave goods to accompany
the deceased into the
afterlife. In the Han
period, in addition to
pottery figurines, there
were also a large number
of wooden figurines. Such
figurines normally occur
in pairs or groups, rather
than singly.
