Lokapala Tomb Figure
A wonderful Chinese pottery tomb figure from the Tang Dynasty (618 to 907). Guarding a dignitary or decorated soldier; these figures stood guard for over a thousand years surviving to decorate your home collection of ancient artistic and cultural artifacts. Original Polychromed red and gray paint pigments still present.

Chinese Buddhist guardian statues made of earthenware and pigments, from the Tang Dynasty (618–907 AD), dated to the late 7th to first half of the 9th century.

Originating in the Lokapala deity of the Buddhist religion, which came to China from the West, this type of armored tomb guardian had an apotropaic function in Chinese burials.

Dimensions:Height:72cm Width:24cmSale PictureThis very rare wooden 19th century Napoleon ||| frame with intact glass accompanies Van Gogh’s smoking skull making it a beautiful and unique decorative object.
At that time (1886) Van Gogh couldn't know the dangers of smoking. His joke was simply that skulls don’t smoke. It was his way to show the teachers at the academy in Antwerp that he preferred emotion to technique.
In Antwerp Van Gogh had clearly studied anatomy carefully as well though. A step in his development as a painter. Next step would be influenced by impressionists in Paris.
The frame is in very good condition with some signs of aging.
