| Description |
This female figure depicts a very human pose.
The woman has pulled her legs under her tunic,
so only her feet appear. She is beautifully
bejeweled and wears the remnants of what once
a lovely costume. This piece, found in a tomb,
was undoubtedly used to hold a small offering,
perhaps a potion for fertility. What she once
held is a mystery. But, her timeless poise and
beauty is never a mystery.
- (PF.2723)
