* Han Dynasty Terracotta:
The Han Dynasty spanned from 206 BC to 220 AD, a period renowned for its advancements in pottery. The terracotta works from this era are a vital part of ancient Chinese art, often found in the form of burial objects such as warrior figurines, animal statues, and deities. These pieces were typically made from a clay that fired to a gray or reddish-brown finish, with some items receiving glazed decoration.
