DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: Cream earthenware, press-moulded, covered with blue-tinted lead-glaze, and painted in blue, pale green, turquoise, yellow, dull pink, red, purple, brown, and black enamels. The figure is supported on a low straight-sided square base, which has a chamfered inner edge, and flat underside with a central ventilation hole. Plenty stands on a low mound with her bare feet slightly apart. Her head is turned slightly to her right, and she holds a large cornucopia in front of her with her left hand near the top and her right hand supporting its lower end. She has a yellow diadem over her brown hair which is dressed with a low chignon at the back. She wears a long yellow dress below a white short-sleeved tunic decorated with scatted groups of three blue dots and three red feathers, and having a red geometric border, and a red belt. The sleeve and neck edges are edged with blue. A dull pink drape descends from her left shoulder at the back and passes round her right side and the front of her body to a point under her left arm. The cornucopia is a similar shade of pink, and is filled with a pineapple, a melon, pears, apples, ears of wheat, and grapes in naturalistic colours. The low mound is coloured pale green and brown, and there is a reddish-brown line running round the base.
