Description

The figure stands full length on a low base against a pale background, photographed straight on. It has a tall, ridged headdress, hair falling to the shoulders, and a bead necklace with a round pendant. Its arms are folded across the chest, and the bare feet are broad and flat; the surface is worn and slightly rough.
