A HANIWA EATHENWARE HEAD OF A WARRIOR
LATE KOFUN PERIOD (6TH-7TH CENTURY)
The head pleasingly tilted to one side wearing a rectangular-slab headpiece surmounted by a decorative loop and with a bead necklace around the neck, painted on the face in reddish brown pigment that is repeated on the tops of the loops, the results of the report on Thermoluminescence Analysis no. N118c27 obtained by the Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art, Oxford University, are consistent with the dating of this lot
10 ½ in. (26.7 cm.) high
