Statuette of woman

Statuette of woman
A statuette of a standing woman, her left leg slightly forward. She wears a heavy wig with short tresses hanging down alongside the face and three long tresses behind. The dress is represented only by the neckline. The bust is rather short compared to the long legs with rounded Amarna-type thighs. The right arm hangs down along the side, while the left one is bent, the hand closed, probably to hold a lotus flower which is lost.
