Note:

Pottery figures from the Sui dynasty are relatively rare and mark an important transitional moment in Chinese funerary art, bridging the Northern Dynasties and the early Tang period. Produced during a short but influential reign, these figures are characterised by restrained modelling and a growing sense of naturalism, anticipating the more ambitious tomb sculptures of the Tang dynasty.
