DescriptionFrontal female figure with undetailed hands meeting at the waist. The large head is almost as tall as the upper torso. Nearly rectangular, the broad head wears a decorated head covering and has a low forehead and wide, round cheeks. Large, narrow eyes are set under continuous brows above a wedge-like nose and small mouth. The figure wears a cylindrical necklace. Primary details are rendered in low relief, and the facial features are painted. The small, high breasts suggest that the subject is young, possibly a teenaged girl.On View
