A helmet and neck guard and glaze? Are we looking at the same statue? No glaze on this one, only dirt and calcium deposits which can be added. There are no color glazes and unless helmets have folds this figure has a head covering like a scarf. Do not see a soldier breast plate or neck guards but a kimono robe and hair in buns. This is just kiln fired clay without glaze and the only color is dirt and calcium deposits. If you know anything about kiln fired pottery a little bird on the hand is not easier than a soldiers tablet or shield. The Chinese do still make Tang and Han pottery in small family run kilns that have made them as a tradition for hundreds of years but mass produced in factories doubtful.
