Haniwa, Kofun period, Japan, 6th century. Her hair is swept up into an elaborate coiffure, and she wears a string of beads round her neck. This tall pottery female figure would have stood with others in a protective circle around the tomb mound of a powerful ruler. The figure is said to have been found near the village of Motomachi close to the port of Konjô in Musashi Province, in present day Tokyo-tô. From the late fourth century the leaders of the Yamato state in the area around Kyoto had established their dominance over other Japanese kingdoms. They are clearly the founders of the Japanese Imperial line. MAXIMUM CURRENT FILE SIZE AVAILABLE ON THIS IMAGE IS: 25MBYTES
