Han Dynasty ceramic lady

Original - A Han Dynasty (202 BC - 220 AD) Chinese ceramic figurine of a lady servant with hands placed in front and covered in long silk sleeves.

Reason: This Chinese grey ceramic tomb figurine from the Han Dynasty (202 BC - 220 AD) period, showing a female servant in silk clothes with arms held in front in a respectful gesture, is illustrative of the fine facial details carved into many Han-era ceramic figures. As far as I know it violates no mandatory criteria for FP status, and is 945 x 1,418 in pixel size.

OpposeDoesn't do it for me, I'm afraid. Looks like a poorly-presented museum piece; out of original context so reduces EV; white balance appears to be off; bottom of the figure is missing; not particularly sharp or detailed. --mikaul^talk 12:01, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Mikaul, esp. the crop at the bottom, which I find very distracting. Matt Deres (talk) 00:28, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
