Maker: Unknown
Grey earthenware, mould made curtseying female figure, covered in a white slip with traces of dark red, blue, black, and beige paint. The lady has long black hair which hangs down her back, and is knotted at the base of her neck. She wears a three layer robe that trumpets out at the bottom, and long inner sleeves cover her clasped hands. Her robe is made of richly decorated fabric which combines vermilion ribbons and floral designs on the lower skirt.
Degraded paint and slip, and tan residue is perhaps dirt and not paint. Major crack along sleeves.
