Her legs crossed, the mother sits on a little stool and holds the child on her knees, staring in the distance. She’s wearing a knitted headdress and bracelets, attributes of a Chief’s wife. The open mouth shows her filed pointed teeth—a typical cord. The object shows signs of age and has a wonderful Patina. The left ear has been restored before the previous owner inherited the piece.

Les jambes croisées, la mère est assise sur un petit tabouret et tient l'enfant sur ses genoux, le regard perdu dans le lointain. Elle porte une coiffe tricotée et des bracelets, attributs de la femme du chef. La bouche ouverte montre ses dents pointues et limées et un cordon typique croise ses seins. L'objet présente des signes d'ancienneté et une magnifique patine. L'oreille gauche a été restaurée avant que l'ancien propriétaire n'hérite de l'objet.
