Ca. 206 BC-220 AD. A superb terracotta figure portraying a standing lady of remarkable elegance and poise. The lady's attire is a veritable feast for the eyes, featuring a striking long red flowing gown with an exquisite flared skirt that shrouds her feet, creating a sense of modesty and grace. The sleeves of the gown billow delicately, revealing a light-colored trimming that adds to the garment's overall allure. The lady's hands are hidden in the voluminous sleeves, adding an air of mystery to her demeanor. Her face is a triumph of artistic skill, with intricately detailed features that exude a sense of quiet dignity and beauty. Thin, arching eyebrows frame the lady's eyes, which are masterfully crafted with a downcast gaze that suggests a sense of introspection and contemplation. The lips are pursed in a small, subtle smile. The lady's hair is parted in the middle, meticulously combed, and loosely tied at the back, adding a touch of casual elegance to the lady's overall appearance.
