China - Pair Of Glazed Terracotta Figures - Sui Dynasty

Very pretty couple from the Sui Dynasty in glazed terracotta.

The male figure is standing on a terrace, probably a standard-bearer. He wears a long tunic tightened at the waist by a belt with an open collar, as well as a pair of boots. The wide-brimmed headdress corresponds to the "futou" of Sui officers. Remains of polychromy. The terracotta is "cream" in color, typical of the Sui period. Very good general condition.
