Model of Standing Offical

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a collection of small, white, ceramic or porcelain figurines and two buildings. The figurines are arranged in a group, on a plain surface. There are 16 humanoid figures, most standing, one kneeling and one lying down. The standing figures are dressed in robes and some have headpieces. There are also several animal figurines: a turtle, a lion, a bird with outstretched wings, and a recumbent animal. Two small buildings are on either side, with slanted roofs and open sides. The background is a plain light color. The title of the image is "Model of Standing Official" by an unknown artist.
