Simply gorgeous and so delicately and beautifully made. A beautiful large terracotta head figure, Tang dynasty style. Her hair is combed back into a high know, with a decorative accessory adorning the front. Her facial features are delicate and peaceful. The dot at the center of her forehead is often seen in Buddhist related works. It is a symbol of good fortune.
