FAQs

Ming dynasty tomb figures, known as mingqi, were funerary objects placed inside tombs to serve and accompany the deceased in the afterlife, representing attendants, soldiers, or officials.

These figures were typically hand-modelled or moulded from terracotta earthenware, then finished with lead-silicate glazes, most commonly in green, amber, and cream tones.

Authentication involves examining the clay body for appropriate ageing, checking for characteristic firing imperfections, analysing mineral deposits, and utilizing thermoluminescence testing when necessary.

Display the piece as a focal point on a minimalist console table or inside a glazed display cabinet, allowing its historical presence to contrast cleanly with modern surroundings.

Keep terracotta figures away from direct sunlight and high humidity fluctuations, dusting them gently with a soft, dry brush and avoiding liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
