Hunched Female Gigures with Necklaces

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The artwork titled "Hunched Female Figures with Necklaces" by an unknown artist depicts a small, terracotta or clay figurine of a female figure. The figure is standing with a hunched posture. It has a long, thin body and long legs. The head is large in proportion to the body, featuring a long, straight face with two small holes for eyes. The figure appears to be wearing a necklace. A portion of the figure's left leg is missing, with a jagged break at the top of the leg. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
