This bottle is in the form of a woman. The neck of the bottle represents her head and hair, the handles represent her arms, and the base is the feet.

The hair, the eyes, the necklace, and the sleeves are painted in black.

The curved legs, the large belly, and the curved arms of the woman resemble in many ways the fertility figurines of Predynastic Egypt.
