Court Lady with Tall Headdress: Tomb Figurine
A slender painted earthenware figure of a standing court lady stands on a small green-edged base. She wears a tall, dark, pointed headdress, a red-trimmed collar, and a long robe with vertical red stripes over pale ground, with a sash held at her waist. The paint is worn in places, and the figure is shown against a soft gray backdrop.
Look closer: Faint green-and-gold ornamental pattern on the base's edge.
