Figurine fragment with legs missing, likely the result of intentional manipulation of the object. The arms are held at waist length. Diminutive face with large, helmet-like coiffure that has been incised to show hair pattern, front and back. Hair parted in the middle. Based on the hair style and physiological characteristics, the figurine reresents a pre-pubescent girl.
