Chinese Sancai-Glazed Pottery Figure, Tang-style, modeled as a standing female attendant with hands raised in a gentle gesture. The figure is decorated with flowing splashed glazes in blue, green, and amber tones, creating a lively polychrome surface characteristic of the sancai tradition. The draped robe falls in soft vertical folds, enhanced by the natural movement of the glaze. The face is simply rendered with a calm expression, framed by a stylized coiffure. The figure stands on an integral base and retains areas of wear consistent with age. Likely a later example inspired by Tang dynasty prototypes
{Height 14 3/8 inches}.
