NOTES:
[1] Laurence Sickman, Nelson-Atkins Advisor on Asian Art, first wrote to Langdon Warner about a group of tomb objects, including this piece, on April 23, 1933: “It is what I believe to be a complete set of Han tomb pottery of such high quality and such beauty that it is really quite unbelievable. …there are in all twenty-one pieces all from the same tomb, near Shan Chou, north-west Honan.” Harvard Pusey Library, Langdon Warner Archive, Box 12, Folder 19, copy in Nelson-Atkins curatorial files.
