Description: | This figure stands with arms lying by the sides. The limbs have been slightly modelled so they can be distinguished from the body. The arms, neck and knees have been decorated with incised lines which form regular bands whereas an abstract design covers the rest of the body. A simple nose has been modelled and the mouth has been carved. The eyes are represented by incised semi-circles. The figure wears a head-dress which is composed of a ridge which curves around the top of the head and two ear pieces which have been pierced. Two holes can be found on the upper back and one on top of the head. Made of pottery the figure is red/brown in colour. Some discoloration has ocurred around the back of the figure where the material appears black. A small chip can be found to the forehead.
