Description
This figurine represents a woman on horseback with an animal curled up on a cushion placed on the rump of the horse. The woman is depicted with her trunk rotated and her head placed to the left, her arms are bent to different heights and closed in a fist as if she were holding the reins and/or a weapon. Her face is white, her mouth red and her eyes painted black. Her hair is gathered into two buns above her ears. She wears a long light green tunic below the knee, with a “V” neckline and red-trimmed cuffs, gray pants and black shoes. The animal has a spotted fur, traced on its body, that suggests it's a feline, probably a lynx, used for hunting.
