Es gehört zur Sammlung, ist derzeit aber nicht ausgestellt.
This statuette is made in the middle of the 16th century in Germany, Siegburg by an unknown artist.
The statuette shows a standing figure of a woman wearing the costume of the period.
It is made of pipeclay, which is a fine white clay used to make tobacco pipes and pottery. Conveniently situated on a major trading route, Siegburg was a centre of ceramic production with well-organised workshops and kilns in which also pipe-clay figures were fired.
