Inferior to these structures, the mental and mandibular regions are suggested by textured clay. The cervical segment is transitional, leading to a developing upper thoracic\/pectoral area with significant surface texturing.

The upper extremities are not overtly articulated, suggesting an integrated posture or omission from the primary anatomical focus. The bilateral lower extremities are fully extended at the hip and knee joints, projecting vertically upwards, with the pedes (feet) directed towards the apex.

The cranium is sculpted with textured, wavy hair. Key facial structures include the supraorbital region, orbital cavities with deeply set eyes, and a subtly defined oral aperture. The most distinctive feature is the nasal structure, which is rendered in a noticeably lighter, smoother bronze, suggesting a deliberate contrast or an affixed prosthetic. This nasal element features a well-defined dorsum and apex, appearing as a distinct integration into the darker, more weathered main facial form. The representation subtly evokes themes of &#039;kusurlu g\u00fczellik&#039; (flawed beauty) in its unique stylistic choices, characteristic of works by Dr. Karacalar.
