Figure2827/9

A black sculptural fragment of a female torso. The torso is intact but the head, lower portion of the legs, forearms, and hands have broken off. It is evident that something was also attached to the top of the figure, suggesting that this object may have been a cosmetic spoon, or the handle of a vessel of some sort. Both sides of the figure have been carved, and incised lines have been used to delineate legs and various body parts.
