Description: | Cast copper alloy figurine; in the form of a standing female figure either with long straight hair or else a long headscarf gathered in at the front with the LH arm below the waist; the RH arm is bent holding an indistinct oval object in the centre of her breast; the legs are straight and cut off below the knee, this section is hollow and acts as a cylindrical socket presumably designed to engage with a staff-like fitting; traces of red enamel survive in recessed areas behind the neck and in-between the arms and the torso; traces of invasive corrosion on surface of metal; no obvious signs of drapery and clothing, the position of the hair/headscarf would preserve the modesty of the figure, if naked. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1066
