Fragment, rather flat and glazed on underside. Max. dim. 0.073.
Woman (top of head, part of legs missing) bending over to right, holding a round striped object in her right hand and a narrow box in her left along with a sash. She wears a chiton and is adorned with an earring, necklace, and bracelets. Preliminary sketch. Added clay: jewelry.
It is uncertain what the round object is. It seems to be a container because a horizontal line divides the stripes indicating bowl and lid. On the Agora record card, it is identified as a plemochoe, but this shape has a flat, not a domed, lid (cf. 106).
