Anthropomorphic female figurine fragment: legs
View through Harvard Museums
These legs are a fragment of an anthropomorphic, handmade terracotta figurine. A vertical groove present on both front and back delineates the legs. The legs terminate in feet, suggested by widening to indicate (schematically) the balls of feet; the feet point down and forward.
Clay fabric: Munsell 10YR 8/3 very pale brown. Uncommon small black specks; rare larger white grits. Common fine to small voids.
