Description

Male, emaciated, slightly bent standing figure with the arms resting against the body. The spine is clearly carved, but the genitals are only hinted at. The feet are small in relation to the body and without toes. There are notches on the head. The face is characterized by a large nose, a bulging monobrow and an open mouth with the corners of the mouth drawn upwards, the teeth being clearly visible. The ears are large and have a peg as ear ornament. The figure embodies a male spirit being.
