Among the set of the figurines, some wear a top-rounded cap, dressed in cloak with a bow tie, with two hands in front of his chest; Some wear pointed hoods, dressed in short upper tunic with narrow sleeves, with a crossbody wide-strap bag on left shoulder. The hood (feng mao, lit. wind hat), narrow-sleeved tunic, and cloak are typical Xianbei costume.
