Condition

This type of figures is usually broken and repaired. In the present case, the body appears to be overall intact. The head is original and has been broken off and reattached, with some touch-ups to the pigment. There seems to be further repair and retouching to the rear of the head. Otherwise this is a very touching figure and a rare early published example of this type.

拍品資料及來源

本品造型屬唐代女俑常見裝束,肩披長巾,雙手掩於巾下,此類陶俑常飾三彩,以白、黃、淺棕為主色,然鈷藍色極為罕見。藍釉於約八世紀,始用於唐代。本品出土於河南省巩義市黃冶窰址附近,為唐代墓葬冥器主要品種之一。據此遺址出土藍釉器之分析得知,當時所用鈷料極純,或為進口,珍貴無比,更鑑本品彌足罕珍(參見 Rose Kerr 及 Nigel Wood 著,〈Ceramic Technology〉,《Science and Civilisation in China:Chemistry and Chemical Technology》,卷5,2004年,頁603)。 另見一出土類例, 參見《巩義黃冶唐三彩》,鄭州,2002年,頁147-149。亦可比一相似例,尺寸略大,出土於河南省洛陽市,錄於《洛陽唐三彩》,北京,1980年,頁2。
