Description: | Pottery figure of a woman lying on a surface that curves upwards at the end and has rounded sides. The woman is shown according to Egyptian artistic conventions, with her head in profile, facing right. Her right arm is bent, with the right hand placed near her left breast. She has long hair (or a side-lock?).
Figures like these were used as offerings, especially in tombs, to symbolize fertility and rebirth. They have been found in both male and female burials.
