Product Number:  CBM25070709

Material: Ceramic

Specifications: Length 5 x Width 5.7 x Height 10.8cm

This elegant terracotta figure hails from the flourishing Tang Dynasty, portraying a court lady seated gracefully as she plays the "paixiao" (panpipes).

With her hair styled in a high chignon and her hands gently holding the ancient wind instrument, she sits in poised serenity. Her face is full and rounded, features delicately refined, and expression calm yet gently smiling—as if immersed in the music, content and at ease, radiating quiet charm and grace.

The sculpting throughout is exquisite: flowing drapery lines, finely rendered details, and lifelike form together showcase the Tang dynasty's mastery of ceramic artistry and aesthetic sensibility. Though it has withstood the passage of over a thousand years, the piece remains remarkably well-preserved, its spirit and vitality still vividly present—an exceptional work of enduring cultural value.

The paixiao in her hands was a common court instrument in ancient China, symbolizing elegance, music, and the flourishing of ceremonial culture.  
This piece, steeped in the refined atmosphere of Tang palace art, not only reflects the composure and elegance of Tang women, but also conveys auspicious meanings of prosperity, harmony, joy, and well-being—hallmarks of a glorious age.
