DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Figure of a Bijin, or Beauty, painted in Kakiemon-style enamels in red, blue, yellow, green and black.  The Bijin is standing and leaning slightly backwards with a smiling expression, holding a cup in her right hand and grasping a billowing sleeve with her left.  Her hair is elaborately arranged with a loop at the back.  She is dressed in a long kimono decorated with a phoenix with long tail feathers which extend down its length and with cloud scrolls; with a black sash and an under robe bearing a diamond chequered pattern in red.  The cup appears to be the remains of a damaged bottle.
