Ancient sisterhood, modern connection

A painted pottery figurine depicting two female figures standing hand-in-hand on display at the Luoyang Museum in Henan Province has become a symbol of female friendship and companionship.

Dating back to the Northern Wei Dynasty, the 17-centimeter-tall figurine captures vivid expressions and an intimate gesture of closeness. Waves of young women in traditional hanfu have been lining up to recreate the pose for photos, creating a touching connection between the ancient artwork and modern-day emotions.
