A Chinese painted terracotta female attendant figure, modelled standing in a dignified upright posture. The figure wears a high coiffure and a long cross-collared robe, with traces of white facial pigment and red painted decoration on the garment. The hands are held in front of the body or concealed within the sleeves, giving the figure a formal courtly appearance. The hairstyle, painted surface, slender form, and robe structure are reminiscent of Sui-Tang to Tang Dynasty pottery female attendant figures, commonly made as funerary mingqi to represent service, ceremony, and elite daily life in the afterworld.
