The painted wooden barrel of the Urumqi Provincial Museum

There are many painted female figurines from the Tang Dynasty in the Xinjiang Museum, such as the painted female figurine in front of the Fuxi Nuwa map, the painted long-skirted female dancing figurine in the second-floor clothing exhibition, etc., which are rich in color and exquisite. Especially the makeup points such as Ehuang, Dianmianye, Miaoxiehong, and Tuchun show the appearance of Tang Dynasty women. The craftsmanship of the 'silk-painted wooden figurine' is exquisite, with the head and body made separately and then combined into the required action. The silk and satin on the body, after thousands of years, is still as bright as ever, showing the popular clothing of the Tang Dynasty. Another material called Kesi appears in other Tang Dynasty painted figurines, which changes the previous statement that Kesi originated in the Five Dynasties. The appearance of these painted figurines has pushed the origin of Kesi back by several hundred years.
