Description

Made of ceramic, these three musicians are dressed in traditional Chinese women's clothing, called Ruqun, consisting of a blouse and wrap around skirt, with the blouse tucked into the skirt. With their hair up in two buns, each girl also wears decorative jewelry painted into their hair, and on their foreheads. Each girl is playing an individual instrument: Girl A is playing a single flute, Girl B is playing two cymbals, while Girl C plays a pan flute. On the bottom of these three statues is a price tag from Cost Plus, as they were purchased as extra objects for a past exhibit.
