Description

The statuette represents a standing man with his pegged left arm lowered. Originally he held an attribute in the left hand; it is lost now as well as the right arm. He wears a knee-long garment and a 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.
