Standing human figure on a pentagonal base. The figure has breasts and appears to be wearing a loincloth-like garment and a necklace. The figure's left arm is curved upward, with the left hand supporting a jug-like object on top of the figure's head. The figure's right arm is extended forward, with the right hand holding a long staff. On the back of the figure is a smaller humanoid figure (likely a child), secured with some kind of fabric. The smaller figure's hands and feet cling to the larger figure's arm/shoulder and torso, respectively.
