DESCRIPTIVE DATA

object type: Cream earthenware, press-moulded and decorated with translucent blue-tinted, green, pale yellow, brown, and black lead-glazes and two spots of blue for the eyes; and with remnants of gilding. The figure is supported on a straight-sided square base which is hollow underneath, and has a circular ventilation hole in the middle.  The woman stands on a low rocky mound with a green flower on the viewer's right of it. Her head is turned towards her right. She steps forward on her left foot, and under her left arm holds a yellow cylindrical friction drum, which she is playing with a stick held in her right hand.  She wears a conical black cap with traces of gilding, and has her hair drawn back into a knot at the nape of her neck with a long tress resting on her back. She wears a white chemise under a brown bodice, a green shawl, a long pale yellow skirt, a bluish-white apron, and black shoes (only one visible).
