Sexual stimulation of a mythological woman

Room 4, Vitrine 31

• In this clay pitcher a scene of female masturbation is depicted. A male figure with cadaverous features, extremely thin limbs and a broken head sexually stimulates the woman.
• The nature of her adornments, including a bead necklace, and the way her hair is braided into two plaits, indicate that the woman depicted in this scene is a mythological figure.
