The Female Figure is representing a fertility Goddess or Venus type figurine. The style of the sculpture shows the human body as almost a pure and elegant body shape. She has natural proportions. The head is the shape of an oval and just only has a nose on the face. The neck is very long and almost thick. The upper body is wide and the sculptor crossed her arms almost as if she should her body. For her hands, she just has just lines for her fingers. As for her bottom half is is not very detailed until her feet. She could have been used as a votive offering to a deity.
