A dark, weathered ivory figurine depicts a figure crouching on a rectangular base, head turned toward the viewer. Grooved lines define the hair and headband above large, wide-set eyes. Multiple tiers of beaded necklaces adorn the chest. The figure rests on bent knees with one arm reaching forward. A jagged break across the upper back reveals the material's porous interior, contrasting with the smooth, dark-stained surface of the aged sculpture.
