The object is attached to a metal ring by a short chain, and it has a rectangular plaque on which the name \"Martillac\" is clearly inscribed in red letters. The figurine wears a full, dark red skirt, a black bodice, a light long-sleeved blouse, and black shoes, with simply styled blonde hair. The whole piece has a lacquered finish, giving the surface a glossy appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dynamic posture of the figurine, one hand on her hip and the other holding what appears to be a round accessory (probably bread or a galette, a typical detail in folk representations), evokes the regional promotional keychains distributed in the 1960s-1970s.
