Photograph of a fragmentary clay statuette showing the head and upper torso of a female-presenting figure wearing an elaborate headdress/wig.
The image depicts a broken terracotta/clay statuette fragment consisting primarily of a large, rounded head and part of the shoulders/upper body. The figure’s face has almond-shaped eyes and a small mouth; the hair/wig appears to be arranged around the head with a prominent patterned headdress/cap. The outer border of the head is decorated with radiating or segmented elements, while the central hairline and cheek areas are modeled in relief. No clear facial inscriptions or cartouches are visible on the fragment. The body portion shows broken contours and shallow incised/relief details but no legible text. Overall preservation is fragmentary, with the sides and lower portion missing.
