Note:

The figures in the current lot originated from the Yangling Mausoleum in Shaanxi, the burial place of Emperor Jing and Empress Wang of the Han Dynasty. Three distinct types of figures were excavated from the site: warriors, eunuchs, and female courtiers. Traces of textiles indicated that they once wore cloth garments, and small holes at their shoulders suggested that they had movable wooden arms. Each of these figures have highly naturalistic and individualized facial features—a result of a very brief episode of realism in the history of Chinese sculpture during the Qin and Han dynasties.
