This red-brown terracotta rectangular fragment shows in low relief a youthful woman leaning forward. She is seen in right profile, wearing a short-sleeved dress that wraps around her waist, and a scarf or mantle that flows behind her. Her hair is in a low ponytail. The fragment is broken at thigh level. She reaches forward and grasps a piece of billowing fabric or garland. The fragment is broken just above her hand, and there is empty space behind her. There are two small white patches in this space and a few small chips on her face, arms, and dress.
