Smooth, light-brown shell forms an egg-shaped, hollow body. At its recessed center, dark cracked resin is inlaid with a stylized face. Two red beads with white centers serve as eyes, flanking a rectangular iridescent fragment. Below, a small white tube is positioned at the base of the dark resin. Extending from the top of the face, a dark vertical line cuts through the smooth exterior.
