The graceful females are wearing robes with elongated sleeves. Their faces are carefully modeled, and their hair is pulled back into a knotted plait. An interesting dance rhythm is suggested by the opposition of the sleeves.
During the Han dynasty, court entertainment—such as sleeve dancing—was a popular subject for burial pottery.
