| Description |
This cross-legged woman has black bitumen
highlights on her eyes, mouth, and earrings.
There are traces of red pigment on her
headdress, necklace and hands. These pigments
may have religious associations, or they could
simply be part of the makeup of a woman of
fashion. It is easy to forget from this great
distance what a colorful world these people lived
in.
