| Title: | Plaque-Female Protome Figurine | |
| Category: | Terracotta | |
| Description: | Fragment a), head and upper part of torso of a female figure, presumably a deity, in relief. Head done almost in the round, lower part no thicker than the plaque. The figure wears some sort of radiate crown or headdress, with three of the original ten spikes or rays preserved. Three rhomboids depend from center on to forehead. No clear transition from headgear to forehead. Face lightly modelled. Earrings: a round loop from which hang three long pendents round in section and thickening towards the bottom before decreasing again at the tip. On each shoulder a round disk from which hang two wavy pendents. Broken below shoulders. Plaque itself follows line of shoulders, neck, and head. Traces of paint noted in cleaning: black, yellow, red, and white. Earring painted yellow with slanted tear drops in black-to suggest twisted gold wire (?). Fragment b), from the lower corner, left or right, of a relief plaque; presumably a non-joining piece going with a), based on thickness, clay, use of color, and findspot. White wash covered in yellow, which is then divided horizontally or vertically into panels by thin black lines. Panels ca. 0.035m. long by 0.012m. wide. Trace of another painted black line beyond panels. Whole piece faded and worn. Dark pinkish buff-Attic (?) clay. | |
