Whale bone figure. A woman stands on a small, irregularly shaped platform, wearing a parka that gathers at the waist and falls to the knees, slightly longer on the back hem. The hood is up over her head and her round face has carved nose, eyes and mouth in a downcast expression. Arms are held down and slightly away from her sides. The edge of the parka at hood, wrists, and bottom hem have an encircling, incised line for decoration.
