This statuette resembles the head of a nail. The widest edge is pierced by seven holes, which were used to insert strings (some fragments of which still survive). These strings undoubtedly represented hair. The clay was pinched along a distance of 1,5 cm to form a ridge, creating the nose. On either side of this ridge, two fine horizontal incisions represent the eyes.

Cette statuette est en forme de tête de clou. Le bord le plus large est percé de sept trous, servant vraisemblablement à insérer des cordelettes (dont il subsiste des fragments), qui figuraient sans doute les cheveux. Sur une longueur d'environ 1,5 cm, la terre a été pincée pour former une arête (évoquant le nez) de part et d'autre de laquelle deux fines incisions horizontales symbolisent les yeux.
