Anthropomorphic female figurine fragment: legs
View through Harvard Museums
These legs are a fragment of an anthropomorphic, handmade terracotta figurine. The legs are delineated by a central groove on both the back and the front of the object. The upper part of the legs terminate with a break. In lieu of feet, the legs widen out (with the delineation ending) to a broader, oval-shaped base, the underside of which is slightly concave.
Clay fabric: Munsell 2.5YR 7/3 pale brown. Frequent fine to small black specks in both surface and section, with small voids.
