About the sculpture
Molded in relief with high coiffure and wearing an himation, her right hand held to her breast. The left arm is held down along the side. Arms bare from above the elbows to the hands. The figure is made from a very thin sheet of clay forming the back, joined around the edges to an equally thin sheet of clay forming the figure.
Possibly the handle for an extremely fine, Roman mold-made terracotta lamp (DGM).
