WOMAN STANDING

Description The figure stands in a rigid posture, with the arms perpendicular to the body. The hands are clasped in front of the belly and hidden by the sleeves, which are crossed by a through hole almost vertically where an object was originally inserted. The removable head was connected to the neck by a pin. Rather broad and softly modeled, the face is that of a young woman with red-painted ring earrings, her hair combed with a central parting and a flat croak. The woman wears various overlapping and crisscross clothes on the right, which create a series of very thick “V” necklines. The outer tunic, which is up to the feet, gives the statue a slender appearance and flares out to form the base. It is reddish brown in color, with a white underside and dark brown borders. This type of statue must have been very widespread in tombs of the 2nd century BCE.
