Manufacturing Techniques:
• Type of temper used (Chapter 3.4.1): Untempered
• Number of molds used (Chapter 3.4.2): A1868 probably comes from a single-molded terracotta plaque, given the shallowness of the modeling, as well as the unlikelihood that a figurine would have a join running vertically down the center of its face.
• Condition of mold: good
• Solid or hollow: Hollow (or simply one-sided, if the object has indeed broken off a plaque)
• Presence of vents (Chapter 3.4.3)? N/A, if object was part of a plaque
• Presence of separate base? N/A, if object was part of a plaque
• Presence of visible fingerprints? No
• Evidence of reworking (Chapter 3.4.3)? Some retooling; surface smoothing with fine cloth
• Handmade applique elements present (Chapter 3.4.2)? stephane, earring
