This Funerary Sculpture of a Stove, identified as 25-220, dates back to the Eastern Han Dynasty of China, approximately between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. This sculpture, made of molded earthenware with a vibrant green glaze, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient China.

The stove sculpture is believed to have been used as a funerary object, symbolizing the importance of domestic life and the continuity of household traditions even in the afterlife.
