Description

Four standing female figurines stand in a row on a pale table against a draped cloth backdrop. Each wears a long draped garment, and several have a shawl or mantle wrapped over the shoulders and arms. Their hair is shown in curled or knotted styles, and the surfaces are worn with some chipped areas; the second figure stands on a white plinth block.
