Model of Standing Offical

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image features "Model of Standing Official" by an unknown artist. The image contains a collection of 19 small, white, ceramic or porcelain figurines and two structures. Two small buildings are on either side, one on the left and one on the right. The buildings have a sloping roof and appear to have openings for doors and windows. There are 14 standing human figures, most wearing traditional Asian-style clothing and headwear. They are arranged in two rows. There are seven smaller figurines in the foreground: a bird with wings spread, a recumbent animal, a frog-like creature, a lion-like creature, and three humanoid figures, one kneeling and two in other positions.
