DESCRIPTIVE DATA

object type: Cream earthenware, thrown, hand-modelled, and painted with pale blue, yellow, and pale brown glazes. The woman has a domed hollow skirt, a narrow body with two applied, bun-like breasts, and long arms made from rolls of clay, which rest on her skirt, as she holds her non-existent hands together.  She has a Janus-like head with a flat woman’s face on the front, with a large applied nose, incised mouth and round eyes, and a haloe of pinched clay hair, glazed pale brown. On the back there are two eye holes, and a snout which forms the mouth of the whistle. Her skirt has a wide blue band at the bottom, above which is a circle of oval dabs of blue and yellow with a narrow blue band above. Her breasts are blue, and she has a blue choker with a yellow spot at the front.
