A small standing figurine with anthropomorphic features of a woman with only the left arm that curves forward with the hand under a conical shaped breast, most of the right hand and right breast are missing. The object's legs and feet are fused together and it has two triangular openings under the head at the front and one rectangular opening in the center of its abdomen that transverse from the front to the back; a stone ball is also in the this opening. The back of the head is flat, this may be representative of its hair. This rattle/whistle figurine is possibly from the pre-columbian period. |
