Description: | This figure sits upon a stool with legs bent at the knees and feet flat on the ground. The left arm reaches down to touch the seat whereas the right arm is bent at the elbow, resting across both knees. Incised lines define the toes and fingers. The torso is short and a ridge encircles the waist. The face is oval in shape and large in comparison with the rest of the body. The eyes and nose have been modelled whereas a slit represents the mouth and two pierced holes delineate nostrils. The top of the head has been simply carved to represent hair. The stool consists of a rectangular seat and two rectangular sides. Both figure and stool rest upon an uneven rectangular base. The object is made from earthenware which is red-brown in colour. Black pigment has been applied in stripes down the face and covers the hair. A white deposit covers much of the torso and some areas on the rest of the body.
