A Pair of Maternity Figures, Thailand 12th Century and 14th–16th Century This rare pair of maternity figures, crafted in celadon-glazed stoneware, originates from Thailand during the height of production at the Sawankhalok or Sukhothai kilns. These kiln complexes were renowned for their high-fired ceramics, particularly celadon wares, which were exported widely across Asia and beyond. Each figure depicts a seated woman holding an infant, these figures are not elite artworks, but rather the sincere expressions of local craftsmen. The intention of these figures were likely to promote conception, safeguard pregnancy, or aid in a child's recovery from illness.
