Mother-and-Child Figurine

Cleveland Museum of Art

The figurine depicts a woman holding a child. The woman has a reddish-brown terracotta body with a headdress on her head. The headdress has two curved protrusions on either side. Her eyes are oval-shaped and her mouth is open. She has breasts protruding from her chest. Her arms are straight down by her sides and her hands are holding a smaller child. The child also has a reddish-brown terracotta body and a headdress similar to the woman's. The child is positioned in front of the woman's body. The background is dark at the top and fades to light gray at the bottom.
