Description: | A thick striated mane hangs at the rear of this figure as a scrutiform mass. She wears a tripartite wig with plain modius above. With her right hand she cups her right breast, the nipple of which is a hole through to the hollow interior of the vessel. The glaze has run around the edges of this hole showing that this is an original orifice rather than one which has been drilled in recent times. Before her, supported by her left hand, is a sa-amulet combined with a tyet (symbolic knot associated with Isis). The surface of the blue-green faience is somewhat granular. The condition of the vessel is good apart from a chip in the lower right hand edge of the podium.
