| Description | Flat back with very little modelling except for the hair which is tied in a bun at the nape of the neck as well as a topknot. The pinched back skirt is seen on other figures such as Lar 108, and the legs are indicated at the front through the drapery. Quite large feet and mitten hands. Right hand, curled to hold a missing object, rests against her hip. Face quite well modelled. |
