Left-hand figurine: H. 11.5cm, W. 7cm. Complete and in fairly good condition, with some chipping to the crown of the head. Terracotta 'psi' figurine (plank person) with red painted decoration. The head is pinched-form to produce the beak-like nose. The crown of the head is conical and funnel-shaped. The arms are raised like wings, before the body tapers to a flared foot, which is formed in the same way as the crown of the head. Two small round breasts have been plastically moulded on to the finished body. Red paint covers the face and tips of the arms. It is applied on and around the breasts, then is striped across the rest of the chest and across the back. From the waist to the feet, two parallel stripes run front and back. Right-hand figurine: H. 8cm, W. 4.2cm. Headless 'psi' figurine (plank person) with hollow internal base, in buff terracotta with dark brown painted decoration. The head is partially intact; it is pinched-form to produce the beaky nose, which has a stripe running down |
