Thought my question was simple. For thousands of years the Chinese have made pottery figurines of a "Lady with a Bird" and was only looking for the story of the artwork; the myth behind the figure. The fact that the figure is a copy of a thousand year old item is a no brainer. The Asian culture is always deep in thought and full of wisdom only made me feel an item buried with ancestors and copied for thousands of years would have a story. Still today the "Lady with a Bird" is seen in paintings and pottery. Art to me has an underlined reason, not just balloons of paint thrown at a canvas?
