Description (Physical description)
Male figure carved in wood, wearing a loin-cloth and headdress, with his left hand raised. The figure shows signs of polychrome painting and is mounted on a round base. There is a large amount of white paint remaining on the figure. The figure and base appear to be fully joined together. The base is untreated but is however still in relatively good condition, there is a large split down the back of the base.
