Ceramic. Ware paste: Color--5YR reddish yellow 6/6, Inclusions--none, Firing--gray core, Hardness--hard. Handmade; surface 10YR very pale brown 7/3. Broken on all edges. Traces of burning on interior and along breaks. Presence of burning on back of fragment and along breaks indicates that the figurine was broken before it was burned; likely there was limited burning because the outer surface of the piece is not discolored.
