This study delves into a distinct category of miniature glazed pottery figurines discovered within tombs and archaeological sites spanning from the Late Western Han Dynasty to the Wangmang period in Xi'an and its surrounding regions.These figurines exhibit diverse forms,exquisite craftsmanship,and diminutive size,imbuing them with significant ornamental and practical value.Through a comprehensive analysis of available archaeological findings,encompassing tomb structures,concurrently unearthed artifacts,and relevant literature,this paper aims to shed light on the plausibility of classifying these glazed pottery figurines as toys.The argument put forth contends that these figurines served as children's toys during the Han Dynasty,constituting a pivotal facet of the era's playthings.
