DescriptionFlat solid mold-made female figure with tall headdress in four layers. Long covering with incised vertical ines arranged in horizontal panels. Crudely made from mold, there are no arm, little facial detail, stylized legs. On the right side is a fan. On the back side at the bottom is a hollowed protruding circle, broken off, suggesting the figure was attached to something else. Poorly-fired reddish clay with traces of white paint or CaCo3.
