Technical Observations: The patina is green, brown, and black, with light brown burial accretions. The surface is well preserved. A slightly rough depression below the belt of the smaller figure could indicate a loss of the male parts of this figure, if it is male.
The wax model for this object was fashioned directly by hand from a wax sheet and small bits of added wax.
