View through Harvard Museums
Pinkish buff clay with some soil deposits. Figure has incised concentric circles for eyes, double-pierced loop ears, a broad pinched nose, pinched breasts, dimpled knees and lines for toes. May be missing arms as there are areas on each side of the body that appear to have once had something attached. Majority of decoration is in groin area. Sole decoration on reverse is a hole in the middle of the back.
