Statuette of an offering woman

From the Museo Egizio record

Standing figure of a female offeree. The figure wears a draped veil over her head, which falls behind and terminates at the upper back. Two cascading curls frame her face. The figure is dressed in sleeveless draped peplum. The arms hang down, and the hands hold a pyxis with a lid and a knob. The legs and their musculature, along with the knees, can be seen through the draping at the front, while the draping at the back is heavy and falls straight, forming a deeper groove in the centre. The bare feet emerge from beneath the peplum. The object is made in the lost-wax technique for solid casts. Dimensions: 4.7 cm x 17 cm x 4.3 cm. Museum location: Not on display.
