Female, undressed idol with bent arms and violin-shaped headdress. The hands grasp the small, high-seated breasts, the navel is formed as a large hole with a bulge. The leg block, which is small on the standing area and still narrows at the ankle - only divided by a notch at the front and back - swings out in an arc to the broad hips. The basin is decorated with four horizontal rows of vertical lines across its entire width. Two applied stripes with a line pattern adorn the neck – probably a necklace. The head is narrow and protrudes far. The bird-like nose is striking. There is a deep hole on the forehead. The side eyes are also formed with deep holes and a circular bulge. A flat head ornament is attached behind the head, which spreads out in an arc next to the head and has two holes each, contracts above the head and widens in a cone shape with two adjacent holes. Gold rings were originally hung here.
