A small chip to the left side of the headdress has caused a hairline crack extending to the back and the front of the figure, reaching the end of the sleeve. Minor loss to the applied relief decoration — the figure was originally holding its end in her right hand. The hands are detached from the body. Two fingers of the right hand are chipped. The small bowl appears to have been reattached.
