This is a terracotta soldier figurine from the Northern Qi Dynasty (550–577 CE), standing at approximately 24 cm in height. The figure is portrayed in a composed and upright stance, dressed in a tunic with traces of original red and white pigments still visible on the surface. The soldier holds a rounded shield against his left hip, suggesting a poised and defensive posture.
The figure’s facial features are clearly defined, with a topknot hairstyle and a calm, alert expression. The overall form is solid and stylized, characteristic of Northern Qi artistry, which favored simplified shapes combined with expressive detailing. This piece reflects the military aesthetics and craftsmanship of the period.
Provenance: From a private collection in Hong Kong
此件為北齊時期（公元550年至577年）陶製武士俑，高約24公分，造型簡練而具神韻。俑身著戰袍，右臂下垂，左手持一圓盾斜倚於腰間，姿態穩健，神情肅穆，具有明顯的防禦性姿勢。表面仍可見紅、白等彩繪殘留，反映當時對細節與色彩的高度重視。
俑的面部輪廓清晰，頭髮紮於頭頂，體態結實，展現出北齊武士的精神風貌。整體風格與北齊時期的藝術特徵一致，注重形象塑造與人物神采的表現，是該時代人物造像的典型範例。
