Tumulus Period (AD 250-552) Clay Haniwa (Haniwa means “circle of clay”) forms were installed in the tumuli (burial mounds) that were
built throughout Japan from the Third to the Sixth centuries. The Haniwa
formed part of the rites used in sending off the dead. Today, these Haniwa,
made in the shape of buildings and possessions which do not exist now, and
also in the form of animals and even people, show us what things were like in
those times. This Japanese Haniwa of a
Woman’s Head is an important find that has the qualities museums and collectors of fine art look for. Head: 9 inches (23cm) high, Head with base: 13.5 inches (34.5cm) high. Unglazed clay.

Fine and rare early example of a Jomon Period Dogu Clay Figure, the earliest
known Japanese figures. The Dogu acted as effigies of people. They
manifested some kind of sympathetic magic. For example, it may have been
believed that illnesses could be transferred into the Dogu, and then
destroyed, clearing the illness, or any other misfortune. Because of the
ritual destruction of Dogu, they are quite rare. This primitive abstract
fertility figure has a futuristic look. There are fun theories that state
that the Dogu may be linked to extra-terrestrial Ancient Astronauts. 3h x 3w inches, 7.5h x 7.5w cm.
