| Description: | Over life-size votive left foot. Foot realistically modelled with long toes, carefully seperated one from the other; second toe longest, little toe curls in against fourth toe. Nails square at base, rounded at tips, carefully trimmed. Top of foot well-finished but sole flattened and only roughly finished; undersides of toes also not fully finished; cut marks visible on sides of toes. Foot hollow to shortly before base of toes; upper part of foot seems to be a large piece of clay, overlapping wads visible on bottom. Perhaps upper half made in a mould, and lower half made by hand? | |
