Exquisite glazed ceramic pavilion in the "fahua sancai" style, with a vibrant palette of colors that evokes the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. This piece comes from the central part of the roof of a funerary monument. It is a reproduction of a real architectural element; the central inscription indicates the temple from which it comes, "Wang Quing Gong," and the side columns bear the inscriptions "sou qiqn nian ji qing, an wan zhai rong chang" (preserving 10,000 years of abundance and prosperity, guarding a thousand years of good omens and happiness).
In the central niche, a figure with the appearance of a bureaucrat or scholar in the round stands out, with the head made of unglazed biscuit. Animal figures on the roof serve as protective guardians.
Made in vibrant colors and with a glossy finish: blue, green, and deep yellow. Square in shape, with a curved hipped roof, following the pattern of traditional Chinese architecture.

This piece is an evolution of "sancai" pottery, which began to be produced in the Han Dynasty (206 BC-220 AD) and continued to evolve in shapes and colors.

Condition: Good condition. Shows some chipping and restoration on the roof eaves and on the animals that cap them.

A certificate of authenticity from Meiping SL Arte Asiático is attached.
