The model is made from an experimental copy.
This is an elongated item, made on the rod-shaped elongated ivory fragment. It has a clearly defined head, back, abdomen. The head is ornamented with rows of "cupulas". There is an image of the mouth, but after ornamentation the head was broken off. At the place of breaking there is a channel which connects the right and left parts of the mouth. Near it, there is an open oval decorated with parallel and circular lines, probably representing a tongue. The back of the statuette is ornamented with transverse lines located at a different distance from each other. In the tail part of the item there is a through-hole.
