Fragment of a Paddle Doll
Middle Kingdom–Early New Kingdom
This fragmentary “paddle doll” was found in Tomb MMA 511 along with parts of three female statuettes (see 26.3.231 & 26.3.232; the third was deaccessioned). The top of this figure’s elongated torso is broken; what remains is decorated with a geometrically pattered garment that ends above a large pubic triangle. Indications of legs are painted on the lower part of the doll.
