The sculpture once had a resinous to reddish patina, which is preserved on the arms, hands and the face, nearly all the other parts of the sculpture are covered by a thick sacrification patina of different layers The peg on which the figure sits suggests that she once sat on a container where the remains of the deceased were kept.
