Anthropomorphic stauette representing a woman originally standing on three feet.
The arms are glued along the body, hands positioned flat. A large tubular body receives a small chest, the abdomen, like the back punctuated with a rectangular pattern, the sex siginified with a discreet pastillage. The disproportionate head, placed directly on the body, has eyes materialized by the pastillage technique and overhung by large eyebrows. A large nose placed above a mouth with lippish lips, the ears adorned with circular tambas, the head adorned with a headdress with intersecting lines.
This piece is presented on a stand for an adequate presentation.
