 : Painted Dancers


Painted Dancers

Six Dynasties figurines stand, with their hair tied, the lower part is larger and the upper part is smaller, and hair accessories are attached to the upper ends of the ears on both sides. Both figurines wear wide-sleeved shirtless, collars that open up to the chest, waist shawls, skirts that reach the ground, and pointed toe caps. The figurines have a graceful faces, long bodies, and small heads. It is single-moulded, and the wrinkles on the clothes are obvious, all of which are the characteristics of the figurines of the Six Dynasties. The left figurine's standing posture is corrected, and it is in a dancing posture, with a graceful expression. The soil is dark, painted with vermilion, green colour, white powder, and the lips are dotted with vermilion
