Wooden statue presenting a female figure seated on a circular stool. The ovoid face has features in high relief: almond-shaped eyes, straight nose, mouth with pursed lips. The conical breasts and arms are free of the body. The crested hairstyle over the face falls back on the nape of the neck. A brown crusty patina covers the whole figure.
