Figure

Painted ceramic figure of a woman. Atop the woman’s head is a brown basket with 6 pieces of fruit painted in various bright colours. The woman supports the basket with her upraised left arm, and in the crook of her right arm holds a yellow basket with a handle, containing orange-red fruit with green tops. The woman has curly black hair which falls down her back in two black braids. Between the braids is a slit in which to place coins. She wears gold earrings and a gold necklace. Also, she is wearing a light green short-sleeved blouse with dark green and red embroidery around the neck and sleeves. Over top of the blouse, there is a short-sleeved poncho. The poncho is sleeveless, has a v-neck and an asymmetrical hem with fringe along the edge. It has a red background with an orange and yellow design and drapes over her voluminous dark green skirt. Along the bottom edge of the skirt, there is a pattern in yellow, blue and red. Underneath the skirt, her small red shoes are visible with yellow dots on them. She stands on a green base. The bottom of the figure is indented and unpainted. It has a small hole in the centre.
