Statue of a Seated Woman
(South Arabia)
The woman is dressed in a long garment, which covers her whole body except her toes. The shape of her stool is unusual and might have been intended to represent a folding chair. The integrated base is inscribed with the name of the female owner: Neb't of the Yger clan.
