Carved in the shape of a fork, this pillar is decorated with a female bust represented in a very schematic way. The protruding chest seems to spring from the flat bust and appears disproportionate to the head. The facial features are reduced to the essential. The headdress forms a broad crest that falls on the forehead, at the base of a long, straight and thin nose.
