Description

A small stone figure stands upright with a rounded, cylindrical head at the top and a narrow body with a round hole pierced through its upper part. A horizontal stub projects to the right at the waist, and the lower part splits into two rounded legs or feet. The surface looks weathered and pitted, and the figure is shown against a plain grey backdrop on a mount with a pale border.
