A finely carved head is surrounded by an arch adorned with a rooster, rosettes, and intricate carvings. The arch extends down to her shoulders, with her arms folded alongside her body. A necklace adorns her chest.
The oval part, covered with goatskin, represents the stomach, the open part symbolizes the chest, the handle serves as the neck, and the head, with its pegs, represents the ears.
