Full original description
Magnificent sculpture for such a small piece. The woman wears an artistic copper hairstyle that carries a pitcher. For the belt she wears, the hairstyle and necklaces she wears is without a doubt a remarkable woman. A woman of this rank does not carry or carry on her head normal containers of water which suggests that this pitcher is destined for some ritual function, as is also indicated by her kneeling position. The quality of this slingshot suggests that it belonged to the son of a remarkable family. Patina for use.
