    How would you describe the subject matter of this vase? It is marked Made in Japan on the bottom. I see they are musicians, are they Roman? Thanks! japan.jpg japan1.jpg japan2.jpg

    I’m thinking middle eastern, like Persia. Dunno for sure.

    They could be Persians, like kent said.
    Maybe influenced by early Chinese stylized images of Persians. There used to be influential Persian trading communities in China, and Persians were depicted in Chinese art. They also imported Persian ceramics into China.
