Throughout the years of research and study that have taken place on antiquities, there is always a unique and original piece which is discovered, questioning the theories of the experts and making us realize just how much there is to learn. This terra-cotta figure is one of these unique pieces. Beautifully decorated in polychrome design attracts us to her with beautiful face which has a distinct Asian feel to it. All of her ornamentation has been painted on, which includes the beautiful necklace that she wears, and the band work on her arms and chest. Her face and the covering on her legs is done with a deep burnished red color. Her eyes are a deep black and are placed at an angle for added intrigue. The hat style is also reminiscent of an Asian style, which connects with the design of the face that the artist has used. With her beautiful and pensive expression, she becomes an enigma, like the Mona Lisa, an eternal question filled with intrigue.
