Civil official

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The figure of a civil official, by unknown artist, is a statue of a man with a serene facial expression, wearing a traditional robe and a bun on his head. The statue appears to be made of clay or ceramic material and has a weathered appearance with visible signs of aging and wear. The figure's hands are clasped together in front of him. The robe is long and flowing, with a V-neckline and long sleeves. The background of the image is a plain gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the statue.
