Clay, 415 grams; 280.28 mm. Circa 618-906 AD. A beautiful representation of a court lady wearing a long sleeve gown and a long scarf across the shoulders and down to the hands, it then hangs down in front of her legs. The facial features are very bold with traces of red lip colour and the hair is tied up in a bun on top of her head. Inscribed on the lower section of the back are a series of letter symbols. A good example rejoined in two places otherwise in very fine condition. Ex Ancient Art.
