bulul, le personnage féminin debout sur une base à étranglement taillée en facettes, fermement campé sur des jambes semi-fléchies, le torse penché en avant, mettant en valeur la tête puissante aux traits fins caractéristiques : sourcils se rejoignant à la naissance du nez, bouche et paupières finement ourlées. Très belle opposition entre les volumes stylisés et le raffinement des traits et de la ligne tendue dessinant les clavicules. Le sommet de la tête lisse a conservé une résine épaisse dans laquelle était fixée une longue mèche de cheveux en fibres végétales.
