Female Figure
This portion of a female figure has a drapery rendered by paired incised lines. The plaque is squared at the sides and bottom, indicating that it was from a frieze or long composition in which the figures were divided over a number of contiguous plaques. The head is missing as well as the object held in the hand, probably a tambourine or wreath.
