The figure is decorated with traditional slips, wearing a red blouse with bow accents and a cream-colored skirt embellished with black and red geometric step patterns. The hair is tied in a traditional bun with a white tie. The base is signed in black ink LINDA LUCERO FRAGUA JEMEZ. Acoma piece: 6.25 inches height, 5 inches diameter.
