Figurine Fragment

CBS Register: 1/2 clay statuette. Woman dressed in flounced robe holding a baby, offering him.

PBS XVI: woman carrying a child. This time she is no longer nude but entirely dressed in a sleeved tunic of kaunakes. The child rests as before in her crossed arms, the right supporting the left, a natural attitude of all mothers. The nude baby, an all sufficient emblem of fruitfulness, plays in a childish way with his arms and legs. The woman has regular features, large eyes, curved nose, well modelled lips and a strong chin in a graceful oval. The waved hair is tied with a turban and falls on the shoulders. She wears a flouncey garment, bracelets and a belt. A white slip covers the brown clay.
