Rectangular, coarse-textured, grey-black volcanic stone carved with a goddess standing with four arms, two hanging down and two bent up behind her, hips swaying to her right. A wrap winds around her waist, falling in folds, and jewelry adorns her upper half, a triangular shaped crown on her head. Flowers curve in on either side of her face.
