Very large sancai glazed statuette so wonderfully characteristic of Ming Dynasty artwork. Not flawless, but certainly in a better than average state of preservation. Of course the paint has decomposed and is powdery in those areas where the statuette was merely painted(not glazed) the rider’s head, boot, and hands. There remains some mild soil adhesions, small areas where soil still adheres to the statuette, despite our best efforts to clean away all soil adhesions. The minor chips could be repaired, without additional cost, if you would like our conservator to repair the chips. Other than cleaning, there has been no restoration work. There is as well a scattering of minute porcelain chips throughout, and the top of the horse’s right ear is also chipped. There are minor chips in the porcelain glaze at the rider’s right front shoulder to the rider’s waist, behind, center to the back side of the horse’s right leg at the edge of the horse’s stomach, right side, center and at the rider’s left elbow.
