Summary

Description

A African statue of a standing attendant, made of earthenware with slip and pigment, from the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD), dated to the 7th century. The caption for this piece of art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art states:

This standing attendant is likely a rare representation of a non-Chinese figure from the north, as suggested by his plump face with narrowed eyes, his long hair in double braids, and his costume of a tunic with wide lapels, loose trousers, and pointed boots. His belt, from which a triangular pouch, a knife, and a circular box are suspended, also reflects the nomadic way of life.
