A POTTERY TOMB PILASTER Han Dynasty Impressed with repeat registers of foliate and geometric design to the column front and three repeated panels of a guardian figures to each of the two flat side faces, with apertures for assembly at the top and bottom. 70.5cm high (27 3/4in) high 注脚 Exhibited: at the Klagenfurt Museum, Austria, circa 2005. Provenance: Sze Yuan Tang, A.J. Hardy Collection no. CP47 (label). Stoneware pillars such as the current lot formed part of the entrance construction to a tomb chamber. The combination of decorative subject matter reflected a dualistic view of the human soul: separating at death, one part of the soul was thought to remain in the earthly tomb, while the other ascended to a paradise—the realm of ancestral spirits and of the special beings who have achieved immortality.
