Chinese Model of a Well Head – Han Dynasty

$850.00

Clay models like this were fairly common during the Han Dynasty which reflects the importance of agriculture to the economy of that time. The cylindrical base of this clay example has a superstructure to support a pulley system that is protected by a small gabled roof. The dark green lead glaze has over time degraded to a silvery iridescence.

15.75″ tall 7.25″ x 7″, red clay with a green lead glaze, China (Han Dynasty), 202 BC – 220 AD
