Standing Male Figure

This standing statuette features a truncated body with curving legs that point forward and two short arms, held horizontally, that curve slightly forward and end in points. There is a prominent projection on the back of the torso at the same level as the arms. There is a ridge in relief around the ankle of the left foot. A raised, curving arc on the torso may represent the diaphragm. A slight bump below this arc may indicate either the naval or the genitalia. The figure’s large head wears a pointed top and is dominated by two prominent eyes that are perforated from front to back. They contain small pieces of another material. They are separated by a beak-like nose under which is a horizontal collar in relief. The pointed top of the head or cap is missing its tip.
