Housed at Hunan Museum, this bronze figurine from the Southern Dynasties (420-589) captures a mesmerizing ancient dancer. Standing gracefully on a brick base, it’s as if he has his own private stage.
His head tilts slightly upward, his crescent-shaped eyes sparkle with joy and a radiant smile graces his face. With a lotus-like object in his left hand and his right fist raised high, he seems to invite us to join him in a moment of pure happiness. Do you feel the cheerful energy of his pose?
