A Post Medieval ceramic incomplete German Whiteware figurine dating to the 16th century. The figurine is a moulded female figure with stabbed decoration on the necklace, cuffs and down the panel on the front of the dress; the folds of the dress are incised. The head, neck and lower half of the skirt is missing from this figurine; the torso, arms and upper half of the skirt remain. This is a bichrome figurine glazed yellow with some copper green flecks outside and the stabbed decoration coloured green. The interior is hollow and it is not glazed. The fabric is off-white with buff surfaces.<\/p>\n\n
A very similar example is published in Hurst, Neal & van Beuningen (1986:237 no.356 fig 112) however there is a slight variation in the style of the necklace and the colour used on the stabbed decoration. The authors write that this example is stylistically more comparable to Aachen examples.<\/p>\n\n
