547 Statuette of a Kneeling Man
Pale green and creamy white, partly calcified jade. The slightly angular figure with a finely modeled face is dressed in a long coat with long sleeves, which leave the hands uncovered. The hands, too, are modeled with care, the thumbs stretched out, the fingers pointing downward. A dense array of folds formed by the sleeves, which swing back around the body, makes an interesting contrast with the plain surface of the rest of the garment. The man’s head is covered with a peculiar small cap that juts out over the neck. The person kneels on a square base resembling a seal, on the underside of which appears the figure of an antelope in intaglio. A perpendicular hole is drilled to the level of the knees, where it connects with two lateral holes which are oval in cross-section. Probably Western Han.
