Chinese Ming Dynasty Terracotta Mingqi Couch objects made during the Ming Dynasty with a green glaze and moulded decoration.
Although Mingqi objects were made prolifically during the Han Dynasty until the Tang Dynasty specifically for burial purposes, the practice of making these grave goods declined from the 10th to the 14th Century AD.
