Fragment of a relief with a group of wailing women

8105.jpg

The fragment was roughly cut out, resulting in an approximately lozenge shape. A woman in the centre of the object is holding her hands in front of her face; she wears a long wig, covered by a kind of cap or kerchief. Six other women, three on each side, are depicted with their arms upwards. They also wear long wigs. At the bottom part, the hands and a part of the head of another woman are visible. She may have been squatting or kneeling.
