| Notes on support and decorations | There was no information about the type of support in Hayajneh 2000. The photograph was referred to the inscription only. The sex of the figure is not sure, but probably it represents a woman. The arms are broken at the elbows where the presence of a hole indicates that the forearms were separately realized and joined. Facial features well characterized: plump face and necklines, large almond-shaped eyes realized by inlays, small mouth. |
