Description: | This figure stands with arms embracing the chest and is square in shape. This is a simplistic representation as body parts and facial features have not been sculpted but are defined by incised lines. The head is large in comparison with the rest of the body, sitting directly upon the shoulders. Some decoration has been applied using incised lines: irregular shapes run horizontally around the head and two incised lines run horizontally around the waist, below which is a band of vertical lines. The figure is made of green jade. The front has a highly polished surface whereas the back of the figure has been left matt. A brown surface deposit can be found on top of the head.
