A vertically oriented cotton and camelid fiber textile figure stands facing us with long, dark hair. A red band masks the face, featuring small white and black eyes above a rectangular mouth. One pinkish arm hangs down while the other extends horizontally with splayed fingers. Below a tan tunic and scrolling geometric band, thick red fringe cascades over a red and yellow geometric skirt. The figure stands against a gray background.
