Title:
Buddhist Arhat (K: Nahan)
Description:
Stoneware figure of a Buddhist arhat (K: nahan, C: luohan) with celadon glaze, and underglaze incised decoration, and with inlays (sanggam) of white and iron-oxide brown slip-painted decoration. The figure has been hand-modelled, and features a large head, and large hands, clasped before the figure. His feet protrude below. Underglaze incisions around the mouth suggest a beard, and underglaze incisions on the surface of the nahan's robes suggest pleats and folds.
