Description: Very small piece. Hair either in a top knot or possibly wearing a head dress, but scallops around the back of the head suggest hair. Left hand on buttock. The arm is very fat and the hand just a flat, round disc with large bulbous thumb. The right arm is raised with a finger to the mouth. This hand is similarly oversized and not well shaped. Rounded tummy and quite long legs. The crudeness of the hands detracts slightly from what is otherwise quite a well executed, though simple, piece.
