Stone carving of a woman. She is shown bending forward with a child wrapped in the amaut pouch on the back of her parka, and carrying a large stone cooking lamp in her hands, resting it on the ground in front of her. Her parka is fringed along the sides, and she wears high boots. The woman’s textured hair is plaited into two braids, her face broad, with wide eyes and mouth and a small nose. Disc number scratched on base appears to read E9 916.
