Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic to Ptolemaic Period, ca. 664 to 30 BCE. An exceedingly rare faience figure of a nude woman with arms draped gently at her sides and delineated thighs tracing up to her black-painted pubis. The figure is covered in smooth turquoise pigment as well as lighter blue pigment that form bangles on her biceps as well as a wesekh collar atop her clavicle. She faces ever forward, her gaze affixed in the distance while plump lips and full cheeks compose her feminine visage. A thick wig rests low on her forehead with large lateral tufts of hair as well as a sidelock reminiscent of the child Horus, suggesting this may be a youthful effigy. Though historically considered as a concubine, other excavated examples are believed to be maternity figures, perhaps an assistant to a queen during birth similar to what is mentioned in the Westcar Papyrus.
