A funerary figure. The figure is made of wood, but the front is completely covered with metal sheeting. The sheeting is attached to the wood with nails and staples, and patterns and features have been pressed into it. The face is flat, with an emphasized brow, and the mouth is indented into the metal. Eyes and protruding nose are made of copper. Behind the face is a patterned back piece, above which is a crescent-shaped headdress. Below the face is a thin wooden piece partly wrapped with metal, the lower third is bare wood. A hole is carved into the uncovered wood portion, and the bottom of the piece is cleaved.
