This rare, female power figure displays an armless torso and head mounted on top of a large straw skirt. The striking facial features are comprised of an elongated nose, closed mouth and almond shaped eyes which direct the figure’s gaze downwards. The head of this female figure rests atop of an elongated neck defined by consecutive circular forms. Two large breasts hang down over the figure’s chest, decorated with geometrically patterned bands, echoing the multi-circular structure of the neck.

This female figure possible serves the same function as its more common male counterpart: to provide protection, healing, or therapy for its owner.
