Description
The head of this female donor or secondary deity is very eroded. The turban forms two spirals of fabric, a sort of twisted bun, then falls back into a veil behind the neck. She wears large square earrings. The face is idealised and smiling.
Comparative study
The hairstyle is comparable to that of the secondary deity HADB n° 141.
