AGASTOPIA
n. – admiration of a particular part of someone’s body. The individual may prefer a certain part of body to do tasks, or they may protect it especially from everything by shielding it. A cure for Agastopia has not been found. It is very rare.

After posting the Japanese funerary artworks of Haniwa from the 3rd through the 6th centuries, I was curious what other cultures around the world were making for funerary art at that time. First I posted Haniwa, then I posted Roman Catacomb frescoes, and today I have ceramic figurines from ancient China. These ceramic attendants were …
