This is a Chinese Tang Dynasty painted pottery female figurines (or ladies figurines). It was made in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907) and was one of the funerary objects (Ming ware) in the burial culture of that time. The terracotta figures are dressed in wide-sleeved gowns with cross-necked collars, their hands close to their chests, their hair in a high bun (similar to the popular "high bun" or "fallen horse bun" at the time), and their faces are plump and round. This plump shape is the embodiment of the aesthetic ideal represented by Yang Guifei in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. They usually appear in groups and are placed in the ear chambers or corridors of noble tombs, symbolizing the maids, kabuki or attendants of the tomb owner.

The custom of burying with terracotta figures has a long history and was popular in the Tang Dynasty for its lavish burial. The craftsmanship of making terracotta warriors has also become more mature, with lifelike depictions of terracotta warriors, gorgeous clothing, and the emergence of Tang Dynasty tri colored pottery craftsmanship, which resulted in a large number of pottery artifacts being buried in noble tombs at that time. Among them, the terracotta warriors of noble women were one of the essential accompanying burial terracotta warriors.
