PLATE VI
Burial figure of a woman standing with hands folded
within her sleeves. She wears a robe with V-shaped opening
at the neck, and her hair is done in a bobbed queue at the
back. Grey unglazed pottery with remains of white slip.
The figure is much conventionalised, the lower part being
little more than a pedestal and the back flattened, while the
upper part is a skilful impressionist rendering of one of the
typical retinue figures found in tombs.
Probably Wei dynasty. H. 20 5".
In the possession of Mr. George Eumorfopoulos.
