Description

CBS Register: Fragment, clay nude woman. Head and body off. Pierced from shoulder to shoulder to fix mobile arms.

PBS XVI: nude woman, bust of a doll. A hole through the shoulders served to attach the arms now missing. The legs, too, were probably mobile, like the legs of Greek dolls of the 4th century BC. The breasts are modelled out of the mass of clay and very small. The necklace has two strands of beads.
