Catalogue Description: A figure with a round almost disk-like face applied to the columnar form that serves as neck, head and top-knot or head gear. The face has a protruding triangular nose; two concentric circles surrounding a central dot form each eye. The unarticulated arms curve like loops from the shoulders; the hands, without indication of fingers, are held to the chest. Similarly, the legs have no joints or other details, simply descending with a slight inward curve from the hips.
