Description	The body, which is shown two dimensionally - it is only 3mm thick - measures 15mm across the shoulders. The subject is a woman, wearing a long robe with a diagonal fold from the left shoulder to the right arm and two horizontal bands indicating a hemline above the feet. The right arm seems to have been indicated as an afterthought by means of a simple vertical cut. The head which is presented in the round, is approximately ovoid, 14mm in height by 11mm in breadth and 10mm in depth. The physiognomy is simplified with almond-shaped eyes and slit mouth and the hair is worn short with a fringe (Henig).
