Figurine fragment Soft clay, buff paste and wet smoothed with traces of white paint. The coiffured head of a lady, broken at the neck rests in a sort of hoodlike framework resembling the arabic [sic] howdah altho [sic] wether [sic] this figure was riding one cannot say. The exegencies [sic] of the moulding probably developed this protection for the figure. The oval face has a long nose and large conventionalized eyes. The headdress curves down over the forehead and above disappears into the background. h .055; w .046; d .024 Many of this type found in Persian levels at Rihanie; cf Aleppo Museum
