What a great interpretation of that piece of art! I learned so much about its culture of origin!

The piece screams of Tang Dynasty. Even from afar I recognized it. Sāncǎi glaze over the older terracotta of the Han Dynasty tomb pieces, and as you pointed out Rubenesque and carefully arranged hair. What a great age (Even though I like the Song Dynasty better).
