The modeling of this deity's face is exceptionnally smooth and sophisticated. On her crispy carved clothing aére the renmats of what once would have been a rich decoration in colours and gold.

She may have hled a bowl in her raised hands. It is possible that she once formed part of a larger group of figures around a central deity.
