On one side: draped figure, left, with no incision. Skirt reserved with broad purple borders, continued to ground, and band down center. Feet and upper part of garment black. On other side: male figure walking right and perhaps bottom of draped figure. Male figure has garment to knees with wide lower border containing incised horizontal zigzag between double and single line. | | Material: | | Hard, yellowish gray clay | | Condition: | | Fragment.
