Her forehead is narrow and her big nose is sticking out. Her eyes are marked as round depressions and her mouth is a small crack. Around her short neck are incisions in relief imitating a twisted necklace. Her breast is decorated with an ornament of horizontal bead strings. The cloak covering the woman’s shoulders and back is edged with furrows and grain-shaped patterns symbolizing water and wheat. Suchstatuettes were used in some rituals for magic or damnation.
