This is the female figurine with realistic facial features and a dyed hairstyle. Eyes, eyebrows, and navel are also marked with paint. A triangle at the bottom of the abdomen indicates a woman's womb. There are two lines on the cheeks and two on the neck. The first pair may be a tattoo; the second pair symbolizes a necklace. Abdomen and suprafemoral protrusions are emphasized. A complex of such signs can be a reflection of high social status (for example, mother, great-grandmother, etc.). Such figurines were used in ritual practices.
