Compare the similarly modeled figure of a military official, illustrated by Jacobsen, Celetial Horses & Long Sleeve Dancers: The David W. Dewey Collection of Ancient Chinese Tomb Sculpture, Hong Kong, 2013, p. 171, described by the author: "In keeping with the new Tang direction toward naturalism in mingqi, this figure represents a huren - a person of non-Chinese origin whose aggressive facial features are in sharp contrast to the composed Chinese civil official with which he was likely paired in the tomb."
