戴帏帽的骑马女陶俑(英文)

This colored pottery figurine was excavated from a tomb in Turpan, Xinjiang and dates back to the Tang Dynasty (AD. 618-907). The ornament is a full figured, noble lady riding a horse. Dressed in a long skirt, and sporting a veiled hat, she is beautifully captured taking the horse for a leisurely trot. This figurine is still in mint condition despite being more than one thousand years old. Luckily even the veil is still intact, which provides precious evidence for the study of women's fashion in Tang Dynasty.
