Mingqi figurine of a court lady, China, Wei Dynasty, 5th-6th century Terracotta with traces of slip and polychromy. Height: 24.5 cm. Mingqi figure of a court lady shown standing, dressed in a long robe that conceals her hands, suggesting a restrained and solemn expression, with a slightly pronounced abdomen. Her neck is tied with a ribbon like a tie, while her head is covered with a cloth cap that falls over her shoulders, structuring the silhouette. The modeling is frontal and austere, with simplified facial features and a marked verticality. The surface retains traces of slip and polychromy, indicating its original finish. The piece belongs to the Mingqi funerary context of the Wei Dynasty, dating from the 5th and 6th centuries, and was intended to accompany the deceased and reflect the courtly life of its time.
