She is standing, her hands resting on her thighs, a hemmed snake on her right forearm, her head resting on the inside of her leg. She is wearing an incised belt around her waist, a wide choker with a long braided pendant reaching down to her umbilicus, and two pairs of similarly treated anklets and wrist bracelets. Her hairstyle is made up of several flat braids, and her nose is long and finished off with wide nostrils. Her almond-shaped eyes are dotted in the centre.
