44. Female Figurine

sketchfab

Description: A somber-faced female figurine grasps her breasts tightly. The figure stands barefoot on a shallow oval platform, showcasing its elegant stance. She wears a cylindrical skirt with two bands at the bottom and an intricately incised apron that adorns both the front and back of her body. Delicate incised lines indicate a narrow waistband or belt that accentuates her slender physique. A beautiful necklace with five beads hangs elegantly from her neck, drawing attention to her refined features. Her long hair is styled in braids, cascading down her back like a rich waterfall, while a filet is carefully placed atop her head to create a neat topknot. The figurine's head appears disproportionately large compared to its slender body, but this only adds to its captivating charm. A prominent and bulbous nose dominates the face, while large ring-like earrings adorn each side of her head. Her deep-set eyes are skillfully carved into the surface, giving the impression that they are gazing intensely into the distance. Full and straight lips complete the figurine's enigmatic expression, which is only further emphasized by its receding chin. The back of the figurine is meticulously crafted with intricate details, including loops formed by the bend in the elbows that curve elegantly towards the back.
