Physical description
Rather plain and somewhat crude standing figure holding a pot on the head. Carved with eyes having eyelids, a nose, and a closed mouth. Has a neck. There is a collar on the short-sleeved garment which spreads out from the waist as a skirt. From the wide chest the elbows are bent so that the arms are upright to hold a pot on the head with the hands, which are grooved to indicate fingers. The knees are slightly bent.
