| Description | Seated chubby figure with right foot crossed over left - the feet are largely intertwined and depicted as a single piece. Right arm raised and left slightly out to the side. Looks to right and upwards slightly. Very crude depiction of facial features - the eyes are close together, slit mouth. The crudeness of the face lets down an otherwise moderately good depiction of the body. |
