Handless, rounded arms with carelessly drawn armbands hold the barely recognisable child. A raffia apron with a hole between the legs serves as a seat. Sparse body painting adorns the belly and crossed thighs and calves. Index card . Female clay figure sitting cross-legged with a child at her breast
