Next is a slender woman with perky breasts, nubbin arms, and a red-orange headband across her brow. Third is a woman who holds both arms just above her corseted waistline while wearing a twisting headband. The largest figure wears an ankle-length dress adorned with minimalist linear and geometric motifs, holds a petite olla in both hands, and has lengthy bangs emanating from beneath enormous earspools. Size of largest (woman w/ olla): 2.1" W x 5.1" H (5.3 cm x 13 cm)
