About Ming Tomb figures: Tomb figures, also known as mingqi, were funerary objects placed in tombs during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) in China. These figures were made of clay, wood, or bronze, and were intended to provide the deceased with companionship, entertainment, and protection in the afterlife. They included statues of people, animals, and mythical creatures, as well as models of houses, furniture, and other objects. These figures were typically painted or glazed, and were often buried with the deceased in their tombs. The production of mingqi was a significant industry during the Ming Dynasty, and many skilled artisans were employed to create these objects. It's worth noting that many of these large figures have been discovered. If you have any questions please ask. Please study the photos as they form the main part of the description.
