Head from a Figurine of a Aphrodite

Preserved are the hollow head and neck of a female figure reconstructed from fragments of yellow-orange clay. The hair is indicated by parallel grooves and is pulled into a bun at the top of the head. A head scarf is indicated by six strands crossing the head that meet at a knot tied at the peak of the forehead. There are large holes in the earlobes for the attachment of earrings. The left side of the face is smoother than the rest and there are folds at the neck.
