Description: | Female psi/crescent figurine with hat. For Z 335-345: "Two stand on a hollow stem; nine have a solid columnar stem like that exemplified in Tomb XXXIII (Z358-360). Seven of these nine wear a plastic braid of hair down their backs instead of the painted line of hair which usually appears on the others. The plastic braid curiously rises from the middle of the top of the hat (esp. Z339, 341-343, 345), - surely an unreasoning transfer from the bare-headed type of figurine, which is also very common in Late Helladic III, - it extends in some cases only to the base of the neck, in others to the middle of the back. (Blegen, Zygouries, pg 204-205) | |
Decoration: | For Z 335-345: "The painted decoration of these eleven examples is closely similar to that on the three from Tomb XXXIII (Z358-360), differing only in small details." (Blegen, Zygouries, pg 205) | |
