Description
Standing female figure carved of wood with few details painted in black. The hairstyle is defined by incised lines on the top of the head that angle downwards toward the back of the neck. The face is flat, with features of a low relief, and small ears on either side of the head. The body is long with stocky legs, with no sharp edges but rather very rounded forms.
