The torso and upper legs of a 'folded-arm-figurine'. The arms are folded across the body with the hands wrapped around the lower chest and abdomen. The right arm is placed under the left and no fingers are indicated on either hand. The chest has a slight swelling and there is a deep V cut between the thighs indicating this may be a female figurine. Deep grooves are cut in places indicating anatomical features, the spine and buttocks. A deeper incision indicates the separate legs and lighter incisions are cut across the tops of the thighs. The head, lower legs and neck are missing. There are indications that these were removed in prehistory.
