A PAIR OF SANCAI-GLAZED POTTERY GUARDIAN FIGURES
TANG DYNASTY
Each green, amber and cream-glazed figure shown standing atop an ochre-glazed, recumbent bullock raised on a rockwork base, their hands positioned as if to hold a sword across the body, wearing cord-bound armor with dragon epaulets at the shoulders and a foliate applique pendent from the belt, each mustachioed face modeled with fierce expression below a furrowed brow, one with hair drawn up into a topknot, the other with a phoenix-form headdress, some restoration--33½ and 32in. (85.1 and 81.3cm.) high (2)
