Limestone statuette of a temple girl
Not on view
Temple girls are a rare variation on the temple boy sculptural type. They are distinguished by their longer hair, which contrasts with the shorter curls worn by their male counterparts. This girl, too, is not adorned with chains of apotropaic pendants and amulets, as many of the temple boys are. She is shown wearing soft shoes and holding a bird in her right hand and probably a piece of fruit in her left.
