This Near Easter Terracotta Miniature Feminine Statuette is considered as a Tell Halaf Statuette, as she features their style, typology and technique. It depicts a female figure seated with her knees bent and drawn up towards her body; her arms are wrapped around her enormous breasts.
This Statuette of a Human-Headed Bull represents a very popular mythological hybrid figure that was largely widespread in Near Eastern iconography (especially in glyptics) from the Sumerian period, that is the bull with a bearded human head, wearing a headgear (tiara) adorned with a single pair of horns.
This statue was cast into a rosy beige clay covered with a white slip. The old woman, is seated on a stool; her face is covered with a grotesque mask and her gaze directed toward the baby she holds in her naked arms.
