Figure Item Number: 2827/22 from the MOA: University of British Columbia

Description

Hollow terracotta figure of a veiled woman on a mule made from a mould. The mould includes a full base which fills the gap between the mule's legs. Incision was used after the mould was made to add detail to the piece. A large square has been cut out from the side of the mule, below the back of the female rider. Some burnishing is visible and the use of pigment is evident near the animal's hindquarters.
