The Chinese Shiwan figure, also known as Mud-Men, has a rich history and tradition dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD) in China. They were made by villagers to make a living and used in the art of Penjing: Chinese landscape bonsai. Rocks and small trees were planted on large shallow trays in order to create a miniature landscape that were designed to make the viewer feel as if they had visited that place. The aim was to refresh the mind. To further the illusion, these little figures, animals, huts and temples were placed under the trees and around the rocks to help show proportion.
This Chinese Shiwan figure is a fisherman, Sitting on a log with his rod and fish. His clothes are glazed in blue, the skin is left to the natural colour of the clay.
