This small female figurine has two studs under the feet for attachment to a base. It was probably used as a game.
A similar model, collected during French expeditions to the east coast of Greenland between July 1934 and August 1935, and during 1936, is preserved at the Musée du Quai Branly (Inv. 71.1934.175.2365).
