Description

The statuette represents a kneeling man with his hands resting on the laps. He wears a wig covering his ears and a garment of indefinite length with shoulder straps indicated in relief by incised lines; a beard is shown as a painted strip on his jaw. Arms and legs are unproportonally short and thin. The body is painted red, the whites and garment are white, the wig, beard, brows eyelids and pupils are black. This may be an image of an oarsman being an element of a model ritual boat.
