Anthropomorphic
This category includes representations of humans in 3D that may have been free standing.
Representations of humans in 3D which are hand modeled or mold-pressed and may have been free standing. These are separated from Plaques and Reliefs because they contain one main subject, no border, a plain background, are in high relief, and depict a stationary individual, either standing or sitting.

| 16425 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Statue. White limestone; broken in half but complete. The eyes inlaid with lapis, brown-painted shell and steatite, the nose of plaster, yellow paint on top of head. Female figure, standing rigid, the hands clasped in front of the body; she wears a long garment with 7 pleated flounces reaching to the ground, the arms hiden by the second flounce with seems to be a short cape. Two long tresses of hair hang down in front over the shoulders, the rest of the hair hangs down behind in a heavy square-cut netting. A bandeau passes across the forehead and also it rises a flat sharp-edged disk marked by criss-cross lines. It is painted yellow & may represent the (early) gold ribbon headdress; in the top of it at the back are 3 holes in which must have been stuck hed ornaments after the fashion of the (early) comos. The ears are pierced for metal ear0ring. The nose (perhaps because the original had been broken off(?) was made separately; there was a deep slot to fasten it on; one half of the nose modeled in plaster (out in bad condition & mishappen) was found and has been provisionally attacked. The figure is extraordinarily ugly, and the workmanship is flaccid and mechanical. |
| 16426 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Terracotta relief. A bull-legged demon facing right. Broken in half but virtually complete. The body is in profile with the left leg advanced, and hands held in front of body holding a staff, the head is full-face. The figure is nude except for a belt; he wears the bulls horn headdress and has bulls ears, but the face is human, with long elaborately curled beard. From the waist downwards the body is that of a bull. Bold but conventional work, the upper part in high relief, the legs flat and poor. It was painted bright red all over with black on the beard and eyes; ground also red. The red paint had mixed with the soil & formed a powdery covering as much as .002 thickness, concealing the fgure; much of that next to the clay was preserved and some was replaced. |
