Made of clay, the set of the colored grey figurines were created by means of hand-molding, as all of the pigments have peeled off. Though few are broken or incomplete, they were realistically crafted with varied postures, featuring male figurines playing the pan flute, practising Qigong by bulging his belly like a ball, drum-jumping dancing, and seated with two hands on his knees, all demonstrating a variety of performances from the Han dynasty involving music instruments, dance, and acrobatics. These act as precious references for the restoration and study of the Han dynasty music and dance.

Baixi originated from ordinary folks, and was a combination of varied shows that include martial arts, dance, acrobatics, magics, etc. Due to the flexible forms, lightheartedness, and humor, it was highly acclaimed by people from all walks of life. Being an epitome of recreations of the Han dynasty, the Baixi figurines not only reflect the living conditions of people from all walks of life, but also successfully embody the material and spiritual cultures of the entire Han Dynasty society.
