Female Figurine
The female figure is seated on a low two-legged stool. The head is very large in proportion to the body. On top of the high skull, there are three double holes (for affixing the Head-dress). Her eyes are incised as irregular ellipses. The body is treated abstractly and consists of cylindrical shapes in place of arms, legs, trunk and neck. Her breasts are moulded contiguously, and her nipples are separately affixed. Her left arm probably holds some object, and her right arm, right leg and feet are broken.
Object information could be updated as new research findings emerge.
