This elegant figure is graced with the rich quality of brightly preserved polychrom painting. With cap-like coiffure, simple skirt and complex designs on her arms an breasts, she is brilliantly integrated with a wealth of ethnographic details. Her hands are o her hips as she kneels with her legs underneath her. She has an appealing, rather saucy ai about her that captures our attention. A necklace worn by her apparently includes central pendant-like object. The unusual formation of her face has deep incised line following the contours of her nose and lips. Three circular objects adorn each ear, mos probably jewelry. She is a beautiful work of art that undoubtedly played a significant role in ancient rituals, perhaps pertaining to fertility.
