[2] A female figure with small breasts and exposed genitalia, she sits with her knees raised, her arms resting on her legs, her (six-fingered)[5] hands clasped together, as if in prayer.

She has a double incised necklace and no ears, while the top of her head tapers as if she is wearing a hat or has her hair up, complete with a hole as for a proto-kanzashi.

Traces of bitumen on the cracked left leg indicate a historic repair, suggesting the object was highly valued by its Jōmon-period owner and in use for some time.

Based on such stylistic criteria, as well on that of associated ceramic finds, the dogū has been dated to the second half of the late Jōmon period or around 1500 BC.

[8] Housed at the Korekawa Jōmon Kan, Hachinohe City has licensed the brand of "clay figurine with clasped hands" to many local businesses.
