Gray pottery standing figure, attributed to the Eastern Wei period (534–550 AD). The figure is slender in form, hands clasped at the chest, clad in a long, wide-sleeved robe of simple and solemn design. The face is square and reserved, with minimally carved features, and the hair is arranged in a high side bun, typical of Northern Dynasties female coiffures. The surface shows natural soil accretions and burial weathering, with earthy tones of gray-brown, ochre, and pale white, consistent with long-term interment and not artificial application. Such attendant figures were commonly placed in tombs, embodying the modest and restrained aesthetics of the Eastern Wei. Well-preserved and highly authentic, this piece is a fine example of Northern Dynasties funerary pottery. Catawiki disclaimer: This piece has been dated based on style by the seller .
