Small carved wooden arm with delineated muscles, and a clenched fist surrounding a hole, likely for holding a stick originally. At the shoulder, a dowel hole is present, alongside what was suggested as a metal joint but this is not immediately clear. The knuckle of the third digit is missing due to a chip in the wood. There also appears similar damage on the front of the arm, just below the shoulder blade. See statue of Tjetji (BM EA 29594) for a comparable example.
