Standing Female Figure

This standing figure consists of a straight pointed body that is square in its lower section. The bottom is broken. Two stubby arms project horizontally and slightly forward from the shoulders. The head is a triangular shape with a beaked nose flanked by two perforations through laterally projecting oval tabs. The top of the head comes to a rounded point. It is unclear whether the perforations were meant to serve as eyes, as holes for the attachment of earrings, or both.

It is a typical example of similar mass-produced bronze votive statuettes.
