Pottery Statue, 'Han Dynasty Soldier'
This pottery statue is a duplication of ceramic statue made in Han Dynasty (B.C.206~A.D.220). The warrior has strapping body and mustache on the face. He wears red clothes under the black armor, black boots on the feet, and flatcap fixed on the head with a red band.
The Han Dynasty was notable also for its military prowess. The empire expanded westward as far as the rim of the Tarim Basin (in modern Xinjiang-Uigur Autonomous Region), making possible relatively secure caravan traffic across Central Asia. The paths of caravan traffic are often called the "Silk Road" because the route was used to export Chinese silk.
