2. IDENTIFICATION

Designation

Roster Date Author Record
Description (summary) 2018-03-15 yM torso of a female figurine. What remains of the arms reveals that they were represented as short knobs. The back is flat, while the front is slightly round. The breasts are round, both are the same size and slightly pointed at the tip. The execution of the figurine as a whole and of the breasts in particular, are very good. From the profile view, the breasts seem to be molded from the same piece of clay as the body and not applied. To determine this with accuracy, the figurine has to be examined in person or through a photograph [Input: ZK226yM.j]
