| Notes on support and decorations | The object could be interpreted as anthropomorphous stela or statuette/stela. The woman's body is almost completely defined, with the exception of the legs and foot, which are not separated from the alabaster slab. The head is missing and the arms are broken in correspondence of the elbows. Originally the arms were probably stretching out. |
