BURIAL FIGURINE: FEMALE SOLDIER

Description Mannequins of this type had removable wooden arms fixed in the holes located at shoulder height. They were subsequently dressed in clothes and possibly equipped with wooden accessories. The figurine depicts a naked woman in a rigid standing posture, with barely hinted anatomical parts and a well-characterized head. The face has the features of a young woman, with her hair combed back and tied in a loose knot on her shoulders. The body is thin, with bone and musculature only suggested: the breasts are depicted in small relief, low on the chest; the buttocks slightly pronounced, the toes incised, the genitals denoted by a slit. The flesh-colored engobe almost entirely covers the figurine; black pigment denoted the hair, eyebrows, and eyes, while the lips are painted red.
