Poverty Point
Solid clay figures are
infrequent but a distinct trait in Poverty Point culture. They are female
figures, depicted in seated position, with rounded off thighs and no
separate arms or legs, but often with distinct facial features formed by
finger modeling and punctuations. Typically, they are 3 to 6 cm in height.
