概要
首を上げていななく二(ふた)瘤(こぶ)駱駝と、それを操る駝丁の俑。駝丁はつり上がった小さな眼、上を向いた大きな鼻、高い頬骨、角張った顎など、容貌魁偉な胡人の特徴を示している。胡人とは唐時代にはペルシャ人やソグド人を指す。
駱駝は瘤、頭部と喉の長毛、蹄を除く体全体に濃い褐釉をたっぷりかけ、背中の敷物には白地の上に褐・緑の釉をかけ分けている。駝丁は身に着けた袍と長靴に褐釉を基調として部分的に緑釉を施し、開いた襟の緑がアクセントになっている。頭に被る幞頭、顔や手には釉を施さず、焼成の後に彩色するが、現在それらはほとんど剥落している。わずかに肌の淡紅色、眼と幞頭と頭髪に黒、口に朱が残っている。
These are figures for burial depicting a Bactrian camel, grunting with its head raised, and its rider. The rider has small, narrow eyes, a large, turned-up nose, high cheekbones and square jaw, which are the characteristic features of formidable barbaric people. During the Tang dynasty, barbaric people referred to Persians and Sogdians.
With the exception of its humps, the long hairs of its head and throat, and hooves, a thick coat of brown glaze was applied to the camel. The blanket on its back is separated from other areas using brown and green glaze on a white background. With brown glaze as the primary color, the upper garment and boots worn by the rider are partially glazed with green, with the green at the open collar serving as an accent. There is no glaze on the rider’s cap, face or hands. Although colored after firing, almost all of the paint has now fallen off. There are slight traces of rose pink on the skin, black on the eyes, cap and hair, and red on the mouth.
