Unglazed pottery figures of a page and maid holding a cushion, Northern Song dynasty, China, 11th century. A set of two pottery figures; one a servant girl with hair elaborately tied up in two buns behind the ears. Her coat has long sleeves and red flower pigments covering her hands which hold a circular mirror-like object. Her long pleated skirt has impressed florets. The male figure has a long enveloping robe slit up the sides to the belt to reveal an undershirt decorated with small impressed florets similar to the female's skirt. His hands are clasped in front of his chest, his hair gathered into a single plaited top-knot.
