The artist chose to stylize this figure using conventions indicative of fatness and thus prosperity and fertility, rather than carving the figure with strict realism. Her breasts stick out in the otherwise flat plane of her chest and indentations indicate rolls of belly and leg fat. She also holds her hands under her breast, a pose common to Venus figurines.
