Steatite figure.
This depicts a Nomoli, a character depicted kneeling on a circular platform. Its features are faint, with a spherical, neckless head, as if it were almost resting on the body. Its mouth is a circular hole, and its hands hold a rectangular receptacle in a gesture that evokes a religious offering. The entire sculpture has been produced with volumes marked with sharp edges, a rudimentary form of stylisation.
