Section Number:   Ι 355
Title:   Head of Female Figurine
Category:   Terracotta
Description:   Broken on all sides. The face and most of the hair left.
The central part of the woman 's hair is arranged in a herringbone pattern design with the waves of the hair drawn down on either side of the pattern. Above a fillet a mass rises, decorated in herringbone style. This may represent a very curious and exxaggerated coiffure or it may possibly be a headdress of polos type. On the left side of the face a straight ridge projects and may represent the falling folds of a veil.
Rather crude work. Traces of red on face. Yellow buff slip.
Red micaceous clay.
Context:   In burnt layer against Venetian wall.
