Plaque with a Female Figure
This carving of a partially nude woman draped in a cloth was most likely used to decorate a piece of household furniture. The plaque, found at Alexandria (in Northern Egypt), was buried in the earth for many centuries, causing the mottled and flaking appearance of the bone.
