Female Attendant (Tomb Figurine)

Cleveland Museum of Art

The figure is a standing, gray, stone tomb figurine of a female attendant. The figurine has a smooth, bald head with a straight, blunt fringe. The face is worn but appears to have a subtle, closed-mouth smile. The eyes are depicted as small, closed slits. The figurine wears a long, flowing robe with a V-neck collar and long sleeves that cover the hands. The robe falls just above the ankles and is pleated at the bottom. The feet are rounded and blunt, with the toes not defined. The figurine stands on a small, rectangular wooden base. The figurine's hands are clasped together in front of the body. The surface of the figurine is weathered and worn, with visible signs of aging and deterioration. The background of the image is dark gray to black, with a subtle shadow cast by the figurine.
