The upper portion of the body has an incised grid-like pattern while the lower portion has a crescent-rib-shaped-like pattern. Horizontal ridges go along across the back. The human-like form has oval eyes with thick brows above, a flat triangular nose, and a thin closed mouth while the arms rest at either side.
