Haniwa of a Female Shrine Attendant, 6th century, Unknown Japanese, 22 3/8 x 9 3/4 x 8 1/2 in. (56.83 x 24.77 x 21.59 cm), Earthenware, Japan, 6th century, This haniwa, or clay funerary figurine, represents a female figure. Her necklace of magatama (claw- or fang-shaped jewels of special protective power) tells us that she is a miko, or shrine attendant, a respected position in early Japanese society. Traces of red pigment on her cheeks indicate tattoos or ceremonial face paint. In her original state she most likely wore a wide, flat hairdo that extended over her forehead. Her right arm, although now broken, once held a cup, an indication that she was responsible for preparing medicinal or magical potions.
