This female figure is made from bone. It has a carved head, ears, and nose, with slight traces of the mouth below. The ears were pierced, with only the left ear surviving. Breasts, buttocks, legs, and feet are carved in three dimensions, and there are small holes where the arms might have been attached. A single line is carved above the buttocks with a double line below. A hole is also present in the navel area of the figure. Objects such as these have been interpreted as both fertility figures and toys. It was excavated by the Egypt Exploration Society within the Town of Armant during the 1935–6 season. Based on parallels and accompanying finds, this figure dates to the early Islamic era.
