The figure is seated with knees drawn up and hands resting on the legs, a cylindrical, flared vessel spout rising from the top of the head. Long curling locks of hair fall along either side of the face, which shows almond shaped eyes, a straight nose, and a closed mouth. Rows of small round beaded nodules cross the shoulders and upper arms on both sides. The chest displays modeled breasts with traces of red pigment, and the lower body is finished in a reddish orange slip that contrasts with the plain cream tone of the torso and head. Scattered surface deposits are visible across the piece, consistent with age.
