I have used similar coloration techniques on both pieces in this post, and I will try to provide a few samples.The female figurina’s head (left) may be mistaken for a male doll and the figurine is shown with a female figurine (right). This is a male doll that is very similar in all respects to my male doll in the beginning. It has a larger body and legs, but lacks a torso or an archer’s bow/guitar. (The cross is in black.) The “guitar” comes in five different sizes.The female figurine from the Halaf period (6th millennium B.C.) shown here, (The female Figure from Mexico: Las Bocas (??)

The figure is very small. The figure has two feet that are flat, while the figure is about 2 ft 3 cm in height. The figure has three hands and a small hand-held stylus on the right-hand edge of each of them. (The hands are left-handed.)
