Description
The face of this female donor, very eroded, is idealised and smiling. She is wearing a turban rolled up on three levels, forming a sort of spiral bun. The earlobes, largely deformed, are solid or set with a drop-shaped jewel.
Comparative study
The hairstyle is similar to that of HADB figures no. 141 and no. 332.
