CHINESE HAN DYNASTY TERRACOTTA LADY - TL TESTED

Ca. 202 BC - AD 220 A Han dynasty terracotta court lady figure. The lady is dressed in a Quju robe, otherwise known as curving-front robe, worn with a belt. Her hair is tied into a fashionable two-sided knot. This type of dress was worn during formal occasions and would be less convenient to move around in compared to daily robes. The robe is covered with red pigments. The figure on the right has been precisely dated using a thermoluminescence analysis carried out by Ralf Kotalla. The report will accompany the lot.
