Because of its size, this was probably part of an elaborate tomb for a person of high status.

Typical of some of the finest art in China, a realistic image was pushed into the realm of abstraction.

Whether viewed from the front or sides, a graceful harmony is achieved by the simple curves that form her eyes, eyebrows, cheeks, hairline, coiffure and garment folds.
