Head from a female statuette with pointed nose and tight mouth, the almond-shaped eyes subtly indicated. The figure wears lavish jewellery including a thick diadem, cascading earrings and a large beaded necklace. Mould-made from red terracotta, additional elements such as jewellery were added by hand. Fragmentary, one reattached curl above the left ear, one chip from the back reattached, the crown of the head missing, much of the diadem and top of the head restored and overpainted.
