Figurine; Karanis; Figurines; Clay (unfired); Female Orant

Notes:

Female figure stands frontally with legs together and arms outstretched. Extremely simply forms: stubs for arms, raised area for breast, fingertip impression for naval, shallow channel down lower front to delineate legs. Head is flat and shade shaped with pinched notch for nose, which alone of the features is plastically indicated. Other features would presumably have been painted. Traces of paint survive: red bands across forehead, neck, wrists, and feet; red paint in naval, chest area and earring area. Coarse reddish brown clay (2.5 yr 5/5) hand-made, solid with back scraped flat.
