18th Century Chinese Terracotta Subject

A male subject in terracotta...
And some enamel flows...
Like a slip...
CHINESE origin...
From the 18th century, maybe older...!
To be confirmed...!
The subject is sculpted and worked in the mass...!
With chiseling and small details added (the tips of the shoes...!)...
In very good condition, just the wear and manufacturing defects...
And a small chip at the base (see photo)...
I don't know everything about the subject yet, but as soon as I have information, I will note it...
Note that it is a very light object compared to its dimensions..!
It is the fact that the density of the earth used is very low...
It is light...!
Certainly the beginnings of the use of the earth from the production sector...
Because it is the top of the quarry that was used there!...
In a late production, it is the deeper earth that would have been used...!
With chiseling and small details added (the tips of the shoes...! )...
In very good condition, just wear and manufacturing defects...
Dirt or lack of color on the hair...
And a small chip at the base (see photo)...
But it's anecdotal...!
It must have been put outside because I cleaned a lot of traces of limestone on the reliefs...
And enamel wear on one hand...
Moreover the hands which are hidden under the folds of the tunic...
For me it may be a monk or a eunuch...!
I don't know everything yet on the subject but as soon as I have information I will note it...
An astonishing subject...!
We can still see a few mini twigs inside...
Dirt or something else?...
I have other photos and I can easily take new ones if necessary...
