Human Figurine

CBS Register: terracotta figurine, fragment, goddess, with necklace, arms and curls partly destroyed, primitive workmanship. Beltis.

PBS XVI: nude woman. Good example of the violin type, hand-modelled on a flat board with prominent hips and shoulders. Arms, eyes, hair and turban are attached separately. The hands were placed below the breasts. Pubes - and necklace - are incised line with markings. Masses of hair fall on the shoulders. The turban that tied them is missing. This added piece of clay is supposed on Assyrian figurines to represent a long tress of hair. The nose is pinched and the mouth missing.
