And could the difference have been thought to matter to the figurines’ efficacy? Later Han tombs tend to return to the use of miniatures, often toylike in scale, including figures but also farm animals, granaries, wells, stoves, looms, farm equipment, and architectural models (27/n)

Many Han figures are wonderfully expressive, from the elegance of a sleeve dancer to the humor of a storyteller with his drum. Others are quite utilitarian. But I can’t think of later examples that explore the problem of representation quite like the Qin-Han examples. (28/fin)
