A female ceramic doll made of red clay with outstretched arms and molded breasts. Some areas are blackened and designed. White, squarish shell eyes are affixed to the figure with pitch.

Cotton pants are woven and sewed together and resemble the dirty material from under the breasts. Both the doll's feet are in poor condition with cracks and the right leg broken.
