Description: | This hollow, flattened, bone tube is cream with pale brown and black flecking; the carved recesses are the lightest areas. The abstracted face is at the base of the tube; it has straight lips, with a slight raise at the middle of the top lip, and stretches the width of the square head. The curved brow turns into the bridge of the nose which has no tip. The eyes are circular indents with round pupils at the centre. The tip of the triangular forehead continues up into an engraved vertical line above the head which extends to the top of the tube. At the top is a series of short vertical lines like a hairstyle. There is some detail at the back and the back is less convex than the front. There is a cavity at the top which continues through the middle forming the hollow tube.
