Message Looks like a copy is a no brainer; there is no doubt it is a copy. The question was: Who is this person? The American museums call her "The Lady with a Bird" and that also is a no brainer. Copied and placed in burial tombs since the Tang Dynasty and no mythology? Just guessing it might be "Jingwei filling the sea" meaning a symbol of dogged determination and perseverance in the face of seemingly impossible odds. The most important aspect of the bird’s divinity in China was the birds identity with the soul. This could represent the story of immortality and vengeance. "The Lady with a Bird" is a six graders responce to the question of who is this person. A museum curator definition should be better then this? Post a Response |
