This large two-thousand plus year-old seated female figure wears a tall headdress, multiple ear-ornaments, shoulder knops and is posed with upraised arms.
Vent-holes concealed atop her headdress insured the safe firing of this hollow terracotta figure;
her headdress and body are painted with red slip on a buff ground and manganese dioxide
deposits provide incontrovertible evidence of prolonged interment.
This museum-grade figure is 13.5" (34.2 cm) tall, 8" (20.3 cm) wide, and 7" (12.7 cm)
front-to-back.
Insignificantly repaired to excellent condition.
