Figure of a standing woman

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The figure of a standing woman by unknown artist depicts a woman standing upright. The figure is made of a light-colored material, possibly ceramic or stone, with a rough texture and visible signs of wear and tear. The woman's face is simple, with minimal features, including two small ears on top of her head that are pointed upwards. Her body is slender, with long neck and a long dress that falls to her feet. The dress appears to be pleated and has a flared hem. The background of the image is a plain gray color, which helps to highlight the details of the figure.
