Each surmounted by flattened ovoid heads bearing an intense expression framed by a coiffure of two tightly braided pigtails connecting behind the neck and centered by prominent noses with flared nostrils, the full cheeks held slightly askew as the figures stand contrapposto in tunics belted at their bulging waists, below which protrude spindly legs attached to clay plinths, one hand held resting on the hips and one hand held erect presumably to suspend a now lost implement; the exteriors covered in earthen adhesions and gesso with traces of pigment to the face and hair.

 

The dating of this lot is consistent with the results of Daybreak Archaeometric Laboratory Services Thermoluminescence test of sample number 785A82.
