It is symmetrically carved as a composition of oval forms, with powerful hips, large breasts and a head bearing the marks of a particular hairstyle or head covering. On the surface of the statue we find traces of red pigment. The figurine was made from oolitic limestone which may have come from Moravia – it is similar to the raw material found at the Stránská skála location in Brno.
