Description: | Fragment of a solid terracotta figurine with a flat and unmodelled back. The figure is preserved from the head to the abdomen. The subject wears a short wig or kausia, although the right hand section is damaged. The proportion of the neck and breasts would suggest a Ptolemaic date and the soft modelling would suggest that the model or inspiration was Greek, possibly a reveller or dancer.
