| ITEM: Life-size statue of a draped figure |
| MATERIAL: Sandstone |

DESCRIPTION Carved from one block of coarse-grained, speckled gray sandstone. The statue represents a life-sized, clothed figure holding a rod-like object – most likely a ruler or deity. The figure is shown standing motionless, facing forward. The gender is not emphatically articulated. The figure is shown beardless and with shoulder-length hair that runs back over the head in a ribbed pattern and terminates along the back of the neck in a single row of spiral curls. The dress comprises a plain upper garment, the collar of which is visible at the neck, and a skirt with vertical ribbing. There are traces of a cuff or bracelet around the extant right wrist of the figure. The right arm is shown bent, the hand pressed against the chest, grasping the lower part of the rod object, which is held up against the chest and runs up against the right side of the neck just behind the ear. The rod tapers toward the bottom and the upper part bends slightly over the shoulder, in toward the head. The left arm is broken. |
|
DIMENSIONS Statue preserved in over ninety cohesive fragments. Total height: 99 cm. Height of head (top to bottom of chin): 24.5 cm. Width of face: 13.5 cm. Height of torso: 58 cm. Height of skirt: 41 cm. Height of attribute shaft: 38 cm. Approximate diameter of skirt at bottom: 30 cm. |
|
CONTEXT Monumental Entrance to the Palatial Complex. Found 2004 and 2005 next to the south platform in the Monumental Entrance. The majority of the fragments were found in 2004, in Trench TR16. Additional fragments were found in 2005, in Trench TR17 in the heavily burned destruction layer just above the pavement, below blocks which had tumbled down from the South Platfrom. The context indicates that the statue originally stood in the passage, near the north wall of the south platform. It was toppled during the destruction, with parts being later thrown up into robber pits. |

DESCRIPTION Pleated drape with fibulae in four joining fragments. Three preserved representations of Phrygian fibulae show that the ridges and grooves represent a pleated garment or drape. The rounded profile of the piece is very probably a left breast with the fibulae gathering material as it falls over one side, in which case the composition would have centred on a life-sized female in human form. |

DESCRIPTION Semi-iconic idol and the topmost step of the stepped monument on which it stood. Both made of the same stone. Idol: largely complete with only portions of the head missing The entire front and the sides of the torso are smoothed, as are both ends of the bolster-like curls of hair on the shoulders. There is no trace of paint. The back of the idol is very rude and uneven while the rounded back of the head was roughly shaped but no attempt made to smoothen the surface. Top Step: rectangular and, neatly cut from white tuff although the corners are not at ninety degrees and the front is slightly wider than the back. At the front left corner of the recess is an inclined V-shaped groove. While the idol fitted snugly into this recess, the back would have overhung by some 5.5 cm. |
|
DIMENSIONS Step: 73 by 42 cm, varying in height from 17 to 19 cm; shallow recess: 54 by 10.5 cm, depth: 0.15cm. Idol: 47 cm in height and 54 cm wide, circular head approximately 45 cm in diameter |

DESCRIPTION Two joining fragments showing what may be part of a torso. Length: 20.0 cm. Length of hand and arm: 4.0 cm. Thickness of hand, thumb to knuckles: 2.3 cm. Estimated height of figure: about 40.0 cm. The fragment that may show legs (03TR11U03stn02) was found in rubble fill in the central part of Trench 11 (unit 03), on 19 July 2003. Fragment with hand (03TR11U01stn02) was found on 29 July 2003 in the rubbly top soil of Trench 11 (unit 1). The two fragments join at a small point of the front broken surface of the "leg" fragment and the underneath of the fragment with the hand. On the left side of the fragment (as it is thought to be oriented), the break has occurred along the line of the relief, preserving the worked, curved edge of the forms. On the right edges, the break is clean through the relief. The "legs" have also been broken off. A large patch of the surface of the upper right part of this same fragment is broken. The end of the object the hand is shown holding is broken off, obscuring its identity. |

Both fragments were found 20 July 2003 2 or 3 m from the south section of Trench 11 in the burned debris above the pavement (unit 8). The palmette-like fragment is partly broken along the line of the relief and had snapped off one side of the banded fragment. That fragment is broken through the relief decoration. Part of the leaves of the palmette have broken off. Parts of the background are preserved along the edge of these leaves. |
