12.3.4 *Headless deity.* [cf. 12.6]. A headless clay figure of some female deity with prominent breasts and curved arms kept in a coffin-like clay box was found buried in a floor of a house associated with the Jorwe culture [4.14.6] at INAMGAON. The figure seems to have been made for some kind of fertility rite. [Also see MAHURJHARI.]
