Female Figurine with Headdress

Cleveland Museum of Art

Terracotta figurine of a female with a headdress, depicted standing upright on two legs slightly apart, with both arms straight and hanging down by the sides. The figure has a terracotta-colored body with darker spots of discoloration. The face is a simple representation with minimal features; two small oval-shaped eyes, a small nose, and a line for the mouth. The headdress on top of the head consists of two curved extensions on either side. The background transitions from dark at the top to light gray towards the bottom. The overall style suggests an ancient artifact. Title: Female Figurine with Headdress. Artist: Unknown.
