| Notes on support and decorations | The object could be interpreted as anthropomorphous stela or statuette/stela. In fact, the woman’s body is defined only in its upper part, with rounded shoulders, arms and small breasts (the head is lost); the lower part of body is not defined, but the object ends with the flat and squared stela surface, without legs and foot. |
