Over 1000 years ago, Chinese artisans during the Tang Dynasty (618-907 AD), were creating landscape bonsai, miniature landscapes in a tray, a practice known as Pen'Jing. To capture the realism of a favourite countryside or mountain scenic view, the artists added rocks and planted small trees in a large ceramic tray to simulate the panorama on a smaller scale. These were intended to invoke a harmonious feeling to the viewers In an effort to capture the illusion, the Chinese artisans used figurines of people, animals, huts and temples.
The faces are in unglazed biscuit, and quite expressive
Each mudman is hand painted with a low-temperature lead glass glaze in yellow, blue or green glaze with the occasional use of white or brown. The face, hands and feet were left unglazed to expose the natural colour of the mud used.
