Description

Male carved wooden figure, which is very crooked and bent in itself. The figure follows the natural shape of the wood.The left arm is bent in front of the belly, while the right hangs straight down. The both are laid out in a rounded O posture and very short in relation to the body. The shoulder blades are set on. The head appears elongated with large ears. The corners of the mouth are pulled down, the eyebrows appear bulging, with the pupils consisting of inset obsidian discs. The chin is decorated with notches. The figure is carved rather atypical and a little frightening.
