Description
A limestone concubine figure lying on a bed. The woman is well-modelled, details include a wig, perfume cone and decoration on the 'bed'. Her face and body are painted red with details in black. Such fertility figures were placed in both the home and tombs and were probably made to emphasise the sexual aspects of rebirth and regeneration.
