Catalogue Description: Amulet of opaque white glass in the form of a nude woman. The woman is squatting with her legs drawn up at her sides and her hands placed on the sides of her stomach. Her breasts are large. The piece is indistinctly modeled; it was perhaps made from two pieces – a front half and a rear half – because there is a seam which runs around the entire figure. There is an eyelet on her back. Condition: Eyelet only partially preserved small scratches; otherwise good.
