EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Male Haniwa Head from the Kofun Period in Japan, dating back to the 3rd century-538. Crafted with meticulous detail, this earthenware sculpture stands as a testament to the artistic prowess of ancient Japanese civilizations. The male haniwa head exudes an air of mystery and intrigue, with its serene expression and finely sculpted features. The ocher wash adds depth and richness to the overall composition, enhancing its visual impact. Standing at 28 cm (11 in. ), it commands attention and invites viewers to delve into the history it represents. During the Kofun Period, these haniwa figures were created as funerary objects placed on top of burial mounds. They served as guardians or representations of individuals who had passed away, providing protection for their journey into the afterlife. This particular male haniwa head is a remarkable example of this ancient tradition. As we gaze upon this print from Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to an era filled with cultural significance and artistic brilliance. It serves as a reminder of our connection to past civilizations and their enduring legacy through artistry that has stood the test of time.
