In this clay figure, most of the face is covered with "shading" -like round eyes, and a ring-like nose and mouth are expressed between the eyes. The earthen figurines excavated from the Amasaki waterfall site in Ninohe city are 23.5 centimeters in total length, and the head has a mountain-shaped decoration, face-painting, and represents the late anterior leaf.
