Description

The statuette represents a standing man with his pegged arms stretched forward and downwards. His right fist is turned vertically, the left one is twisted horizontally, and both originally held gears, now lost. He wears a short garment and a spherical wig covering his ears. The body is painted red, the whites and the garment are white, the wig, brows, eyelids and pupils are black. This may be a statuette of a pilot standing on a prow of a model ritual boat.
