Human Figurine

CBS Register: terracotta figurine, fragment [maid?] plaster to work out details of garment.

PBS XVI: Young woman unveiling herself. Her shawl slips from her shoulders, halfway over her left arm and is caught by both hands in front, exposing the upper body while still wrapped about the lower limbs. The languid, resting position is well expressed by body and head slightly bent over towards th right, the left elbow leaning on a columnar support. Her only ornament is a turban over a mass of wavy hair parted, drawn back and tied in a knot behind. The Greek inspiration is evident. A slip of white plaster was added and probably painted in imitation of alabaster. Solid clay, hard baked and cast in a two piece mold.
