A bronze statuette of a standing female figure. The legs below the knees and part of the headdress are missing. She holds her right hand over her chest between prominent breasts. Her left hand is crossed over her stomach. The facial features include a prominent nose and large, almond-shaped eyes. The headdress that she wears rests toward the front of her head and swings high off of the head on either side, creating a opening between head and headdress, then falls to curl over the front of the shoulder and down the back where the two sides meet with a lock flowing down the back from the center of the head.
