Description
Dummies of this type had removable wooden arms fixed in holes located at shoulder height. They were subsequently dressed in fabric clothes and possibly equipped with wooden accessories. The figurine depicts a naked woman in a rigid standing posture, with barely visible anatomical parts and a well-characterized head. The face has the features of an adult woman, with her hair combed back and gathered in a bun behind her head. The body is thin, with suggested bones and muscles: the breasts are in small relief at the bottom of the chest, the buttocks is slightly pronounced, the toes engraved, the genitals denoted by a slit. No traces of engobe or other pigments remain.
