Description
Wooden carving depicting a tall thin human figure standing on a circular base. Geometric patterns composed of two columns or rows of multiple rectangles are carved onto the figure's face, trunk, and thighs. The figure has a long face that extends down toward their chest as well as a protruding nose and lips. Three protrusions, possibly depicting hair (?), are positioned on top of the figure's head. The furthest back protrusion is decorated with incised lines. The figure's trunk is curved into a u-shape. Two incised lines are above and to the left and right of the figure's protruding naval. The figure's arms are straight and their hands are placed on their thighs. The figure's buttocks (or possibly a garment ?) protrudes from their lower back and thighs. The figure's knees are protruding, with their thighs and calves curving to meet the protrusion.
