| Description | On one face the upper part of a female is represented with sloping, rounded shoulders, long neck and crudely modelled head. Her breasts are shown by the simple expedient of opposed finger nail impressions, and the nose is defined by a simple pinched line running down the middle of the face from forehead to chin. There is no indication of any other features (Ambrose). |
