Carved wooden figure of a man. The carved hair is very round with a straight fringe and cut high on the back of the neck. His eyes and mouth are slits; his nose and ears protrude. The figure’s head is off-centre, slightly to the left. He is carved wearing an A-line dress with short sleeves and a V-neck, with pants underneath. There is one stripe around the end of each sleeve and there are two stripes around the bottom edge of the garment. His left arm is stuck close to his body and in it he holds a knife. In his right arm he holds a stick upwards. His toes are incised and he stands on a rectangular base with softened corners. On the bottom of the object, there is a piece of tape with a number written on it in pen.
