The right knee is half raised. The left elbow is resting on a cushion. The right arm follows the curve of the body, the hand holding an angle of the shawl wrapped about the lower limbs. The left hand, missing, probably held a fruit or a flower. The tunic is embroidered at the neck. A veil hands from the peaked headdress recued like a Phrygian cap, or the helmet of the Parthian soldiers. Eyes and hair are painted black. The double necklace, the embroideries on tunic and cushion, and beauty spots above the eyes are painted red. Hollow figure molded in two pieces.
