Description

A carved wooden seated figure with shaped protrusion representing his legs and feet.
Dowel holes visible on either side of the torso indicate arms were originally present. This figure is extremely well-preserved with a deep red pigment visible across the whole upper surface, the eyes are both clearly delineated and a prominent black visible on the rear and top of the head. White is seemingly present also. A dowel is present in the base, indicating it originally was attached to another object.
