Description

A tall, thin wooden figure with its head composed of two long faces on either side, with a long protruding nose, slits carved for the eyes, a rounded protruding chin, and a very slight protrusion at mouth area, but no mouth carved. Long hair or a headdress surrounds the faces. Evidence of decoration in the form of angled lines can be seen on a small portion of the hair to one side. The neck is long and thin, leading down to a large, pronounced, rounded shoulder area. The torso is long and thin, ending at a wider base, with two vertical side supports carved into the wood. The figure is two-toned in colour, with a dark brown wood cortex, and a light yellow-brown interior that is shown more prominently. Figure is screwed onto a thin wooden stand.
