Description
This secondary deity with a feminine appearance, of Indian inspiration, wears a high headdress, made up of a band of fabric that is rolled up in four stages, so that it narrows towards the top. The hair is represented by wavy furrows and falls over the ears with deformed lobes. The face is smiling and idealised.
