Description: | This figure stands with legs apart, arms hanging away from the sides with palms facing forward. Features such as the breasts, ears and nose have been modelled whereas carved lines define the eyes, hands and toes. The figure wears both neck and wrist ornaments which are decorated with incised lines. The ears of the figure are heavily adorned and a lip plug and nose ring also decorates the face. The figure wears an elaborate head-dress composed of small feather-like shapes which overlap one another. Made of pottery the figure is brown/red in colour. A yellow pigment has been applied in bands around the waist and lower legs to denote a garment. A white surface deposit has formed in veins which are scattered across the surface creating a rough texture.
