Small carved wooden arm featuring delineated muscles, with a clenched fist (surrounding a hole). This hole would have likely been used to hold a stick/staff. What is suggested as a metal joint is present on the reverse (at the shoulder), however this material identification remains unclear. A chip at the back of of the hand has resulted in the small finger being broken off. See statue of Tjetji (BM EA 29594) for a comparable example.
