Standing male figure
A carved wooden figure stands upright with bent arms, holding a small object at its chest. Its broad head has large round eyes, a tall flat-topped headdress, and a set mouth; the weathered grain and cracks run across the body and legs.
Look closer: The lower legs are broken away, leaving jagged edges at the base of the figure.
