An Ancient Chinese Tang Dynasty finely sculpted terracotta pottery figure of a court lady or courtesan. The court lady is presented standing in a relaxed and elegant stance. She is portrayed wearing a richly draped court robe that falls to her feet in heavy folds, emphasising the graceful sway of her plump body. Her left hand is concealed by the hem of her richly draped and decorated garment, whilst her left is left bare and is raised in an elegant gesture. Her face is sensitively moulded with full cheeks, a small, dimpled chin and a crisply carved mouth, nose and elongated eyes. Her cheeks are painted with light rouge-coloured pigment, rendering an attractive representation of rosy skin. Her hair is gathered into a characteristic court coiffure, featuring a top knot drawn up high known as fallen horse chignon. Circa: AD 618 to 906.
