Clay fertility figure
Female figure, feet missing. The woman is shown naked except for a bead girdle and an elaborate full wig. She has tattoos on her buttocks.
The elaborate wig makes this figure unique among this class of figurine and it may provide the starting point for the full female wig of the late 18th Dynasty
