Clay reddish brown rather coarse, with much black sand. Black matt paint much worn, white accretion. Body below arms is tubular flaring, and partly hollowed underneath, at base. Arms are thick rolls of clay slightly flattened at ends, the left extended forward, the right curved around in front of chest; both arms at shoulder height. Thick neck, long pellet shaped head terminating in a short conical headdress; pointed, projecting chin, nose broken but probably large, ears indicated by tabs of clay. Paint on face too worn to distinguish features there are two parallel lines to mark beginning of headdress above forehead and black paint to indicate hair on back of head. A black band falls from rear right shoulder under arm to waist and swings up toward left front shoulder. A tubular object apparently with a strap, now been restoredwhether or not correctly, - as suspended from the left shoulder. Crudely made.
