Upper half of a woman from a pair or group statue
Preserved is the top part of a woman with a long, striated tripartite wig and prominent large ears. Her upper right arm (the lower part is missing) is held against the side of her torso. Only a small part of her upper left arm is preserved, but the remains extend horizontally, which indicates that her arm was placed around another person and that this piece is part of a pair or group statue. The same is shown by the position of a thick back support that only begins in the center of the figure and then extends to the woman’s proper left side.
