DescriptionA small ceramic sculpture of a standing figure. Their body is loosely cylindrical and tapers upwards toward the head, which appears to have been broken off and reattached. The head features two flat, wide forms which protrude outwards from the left and right side. The body and head are a very light tan color and have a rough texture. A loose, vertical, brown zig-zag form is in the center of the torso. The front of the face features a small circular mouth centered within a painted brown circle. The ends of the protrusions are painted brown.
