Notable woman how she denotes him to appear sitting on a royal stool. Touched with two large loops combed backwards. Pointy and conical breasts and prominent navel, common in Africa. Both hands are attached to the sides, but the right one is much larger and forms a hole in its center as if it were destined to receive a scepter. Very dark patina.
