Description
Bibliography

Female figurine which has been restored. It was found in 1957 at the Sanctuary of the Nymphe. The woman stands wearing a long dress belted around the waist. Her surviving arm is bent at the elbow and stretched out forward. All over the surface traces of white slip are preserved and red paint which has been used for the decoration of her garment.

A hole in each shoulder was probably used for the implementation of a wooden support that would have held the arms in place. The body is wheelmade whereas the arm handmade.
