Votive Figurine of a Woman

6th-early 5th century BCE

Description

Flat lead figurine of a woman in a long skirt and a high headdress facing right. The hair appears as a ponytail to one side, the breasts are indicated by raised dots, and hands and feet are missing. Vertical wavy lines decorate the skirt. The plain back of the figurine suggests that it was cast in a one-sided mold. There are cracks at the neck.
