Book Description:
During the Han (206 B.C. A.D. 220) and Tang (A.D. 618 907) dynasties, terra cotta sculptures were placed in elaborate tombs to protect and to serve the spirit of the deceased. These fascinating sculptures took the form of soldiers, courtiers, musicians, merchants, attendants, court officials, and guardians. Animals were depicted as well horses, rams, boars, dogs, and camels. From Court to Caravan features seventy five exquisite Chinese tomb sculptures from the collection of Anthony Solomon, which includes a particularly rich selection of sixth century pieces and is noteworthy for its focus on unglazed, cold painted sculptures. The book provides an up to date overview of China's wide variety of ceramic tomb sculptures, their place in Chinese material culture, and the influences of Silk Route trade that they reveal. This handsome book is the catalogue for an exhibition at the Arthur M. Sackler Museum, Harvard University, July 27 to September 15, 2002, which then travels to The Asia Society Galleries, New York, October 9, 2002 to February 9, 2003.
