Are you curious about the appearance of the Yangshao people from more than 5,000 years ago?

A terracotta human-shaped pot portrays a woman whose head is slightly thrown back, showing a faint smile. This pot reflects people in the matriarchal society who attached much importance to women and their reproduction function.

Excavated from the Jiaocun village site in Luonan county of Shaanxi province in 1953, the pot is now in the permanent collection of the Xi’an Banpo Museum. A treasure from the Neolithic period!
