A pottery female figure head, likely from the Han to Northern Dynasties period, exhibiting a high coiled coiffure and delicate facial features. Molded in red earthenware, with remaining traces of original mineral-based pigments. The face is serene, with stylized eyes and mouth, reflecting the aesthetic ideals of early Chinese female representations. The surface retains natural burial patina and earthen encrustation. Though fragmentary, this head retains strong character and authenticity. An evocative piece suitable for collectors of early Chinese funerary figures or archaeological materials.
