Head of a female figurine; it belongs to the group of anthropomorphic figurines typical of the High Euphrates region, and known by many specimens discovered in the 70s in many sites, like Tell Selenkahiyeh, Tell Habuba Kabira, Tell Hadidi, etc. This production is characterized especially by terracotta figurines with column body, flattened chest, arms folded up on breasts, applied pierced pastilles for the eyes and solids to the sides of the face, quadrangular plaques on the forehead and a complex hair dressing on the back of the head (chignon, plait, etc.). These figurines belong to the horizon of the Early Bronze Age IV, last centuries of the Third millennium B.C. [Input: O702GM.j] |
