The figure stands upright with a cylindrical vessel spout rising from the head, painted with a band of stepped and zigzag designs in cream, brown, and orange. The face is modeled with a prominent nose, closed mouth, and eyes inlaid with a pale material, each centered with a small gold colored dot. Large disc shaped ear ornaments project from either side of the head.
The arms rest against the body with hands meeting at the front of the torso, which is finished in a reddish orange slip. A band of cream colored pigment crosses the hips, below which the legs and feet are rendered with individually defined toes. The figure remains intact, standing independently on both feet.
