Se tenant puissamment avec une expression engageante, les jambes écartées et légèrement fléchies aux genoux, des fesses arrondies sous un torse en forme de V avec un nombril proéminent, les bras musclés légèrement en avant et éloignés du corps, les épaules carrées soutenant un large cou cylindrique et une tête sphérique ; le visage large avec des yeux en forme d'amande légèrement baissés, un nez naturaliste [pointe manquante] au-dessus d'une bouche ouverte et grimaçante révélant deux rangées de dents incrustées ; une érosion importante sur toute la surface, particulièrement à la base ; patine brun foncé avec des reflets de kaolin.

Standing powerfully with an engaging expression, the legs spread and slightly bent at the knees, rounded buttock below a V-shaped upper torso with protruding umbilicus, the muscular arms slightly forward and held away from the body with squared shoulders supporting a broad cylindrical neck and spherical head; the wide face with almond-shaped, slightly downcast eyes, naturalistic nose [tip missing] above an open, grimacing mouth revealing two rows of inset teeth; significant erosion throughout the surface and particularly at the base; dark-brown patina with kaolin highlights.
