Title: | DRAPED LEFT SHOULDER(?) OF FEMALE(?) FIGURE | |
Category: | Sculpture | |
Category Code: | S | |
Object Number: | 589 | |
Description: | The back of this fragment was worked roughly with a point. Folds reacting to some movement or to the ending of a limb are preserved on the surface of this fragment. The more deeply carved folds are accented by incised lines echoing their path. It has been identified as part of a draped upper left arm, but may make more sense, however, if rotated clockwise 180°, with folds looped down rather than arching up; in this orientation it would represent part of the abdomen of the figure. The sex is unknown but just possibly the figure could be female. | |
Condition: | Fragment. One fragment, broken all around. | |
