This small but fine example of the Early Spedos type depicts a pregnant woman with arms crossed left over right. While the craftsman captures some of the characteristics of the type including the titled-back head and pointed shoulders, it omits the characteristic leg-cleft perforation, perhaps due to its small size. Also unusual is that the fingers are delineated by incision, which is normally only found on larger figures, attesting to the careful attention to detail by this sculptor.
