A tan pottery sculpture depicts a standing woman with wide hips and short, tapered legs. A black mask-like pattern covers her slit eyes and nose, while red lines accent her cheeks, chest, and waist. Her thin arms loop from her shoulders, hands resting on her abdomen. Dark, curved patterns cover her lower body, and small dabs of red paint mark her feet, emphasizing her stylized, human form.
