Monoxyle statuette representing a standing woman planted on short but powerful legs resting on wide feet. The slender body receives a small chest, the arms detached from the body, the hands placed on the top of the thighs, the sex signified by an incision. A high cylindrical neck accommodates a large head with angular ears, almond eyes highlighted with small pearls framing a small flat nose framing a small quadrangular mouth. The skull formerly covered with a reptile skin (reliquat) and hollowed out at its top with a cavity containing a charge, the cheeks showing subtle scarifications in the shape of a cross.
