黄杨木雕卧仕女(英文)

Adopting the archetype of Yu Xuanji, a woman poet of Tang Dynasty(618—907), the beauty is carved-in-the-round and features a plaited square hairdo, crescent-like eyebrows and slightly closed eyes. Her posture is of one leaning against books while in bed, looking lost in thought. She wears a long skirt, drapes an embroidered cape over her shoulders, and has one leg curled up a little with one hand supporting her cheek; she seems comfortable and serene.
