Full original description
The handle of the slingshot represents a woman in a rare position. She's sitting, her legs folded forward, but they disappear when she sees the front. The arms of the fork, instead of coming out to the sides of the figure body, as usual, come out from front to back, like silulating legs, which are not, taking an open step to the front. The loops of the woman's hairstyle, when tuning upwards, form a cone. Tiny breasts and arms attached to the body and folded to the elbows with forearms to the belly and hands interlaced. Light wood with patina of time.
