    This probably belongs in a museum. I bought two terracotta sculptures several years ago in San Francisco, and this is one of them. I will post the other, which is a soldier.

    It's my understanding that this is a Han Dynasty Dancer performing a sleeve dance.

    Interesting article about similar artifacts here:
