Morphologically, the neck is stretched, as is often the case in the Koulango art corpus, the body is quite narrow and slender.
The scarifications here are remarkably fine and encircle the protruding umbilicus.
Remarkably, this statue, to which a cult was visibly devoted, was covered on its whole with a layer of white pigment.
