Catalogue Note
cf. Leloup (2011 : 378, n° 148) pour une statuette en fer stylistiquement comparable, les genoux fléchis. Celle-ci se distingue par le mouvement des bras torsadés, les mains jointes à l'aplomb de la nuque, et par le contraste entre la fluidité des lignes et la puissance du visage aux traits géométriques. Patine grumeleuse.
