Figurine of a Woman (Primary Title)
Figurine (Object Name)
Unknown (Artist)
The flat, boardlike depictions of women that appeared in 6th-century Boeotia are called “Pappas” idols (after the name of the headdress), although they are more likely votive dedications rather than objects of worship. The painted decoration reflects the embroidered clothing and, perhaps, jewelry.
