Stone figure with a large, long, flat head, a shallow hole bored at top centre, above a protruding face with large ears, large prominent nose, inset bulging eyes over round cheeks, and a wide mouth above a receding chin. The body is small, carved to suggest a crouched position with knees to the front. Yellow mud has been applied over the surface and has settled thickly into crevices.
