Untitled

4th–5th century · Terracotta · Asian Art

This depiction of a female lay follower was probably part of a multifigural composition contained in an image shrine. With her fashionable hairstyle and jewelry, she was likely a donor who wished herself represented in a position of perpetual veneration. The naturalistic treatment of her eyes and mouth suggests her age.
