拍品专文

Small gilt-bronze warrior figures, such as the current example, were made as subsidiary figures for gilt-bronze Buddhist altars. A Tang dynasty altar of this type in the Seattle Art Museum is illustrated by H. Munsterberg, Chinese Buddhist Bronzes, Vermont/Tokyo, 1967, pl. 119, where two small gilt-bronze guardian figures can be seen standing at the upper corners of the stand. The guardian on the proper right side of the stand is very similar to the current figure.
