A reddish-brown terracotta sculpture with dark gray patches depicts a figure facing forward with wide-set eyes and a slightly open mouth. A fragmented, curved headdress rests atop the head. The figure's arms bend at the elbows, holding hands with incised fingers to the chest. A series of vertical notches forms a necklace around the neck, and small circular holes pierce the chest near each shoulder. The sculpture's legs are fragmented.
