The highly stylized human figure's head has a ridge running vertically down the center of the face and a large notch, suggesting a nose. There is a slit for the eyes and mouth. The flat body has two small rectangles to suggest arms. It is a light natural wood color with dark brown pigment decorations. The face is decorated with diagonal lines and dots. The body arches are directed outward with dots between.
