Description: | This figurine is very slim and flat, and is anthropomorphic in shape with a very short torso. The arms are horizontally placed in relation to the body with squared-off triangular shaped legs. The facial features show three round flat clay discs attached to the face representing the eyes and mouth, while the nose is in raised relief. The ears are very prominent and circular. The hair is also made of clay and attached with vertical incised lines suggesting short, cropped hair. Horizontal incised lines also represent the base of the feet and are evident at the top of the thigh. Vertical lines cover the torso, legs, arms and surround the facial area. Curvilinear motifs are evident on the back of the head, and red pigment can be seen on the hair, eyes, mouth and the three vertical features on the front of the chest area. The figurine is earthenware, made from terracotta clay.
