Fetish statuette featuring a standing male figure. Legs slightly bent, arms at his sides, hands resting around an umbilical appendage. The elongated face ends in a disproportionate triangle extended by a beard, giving it a hieratic pose. The summit cavity must have contained a magical charge.
This figure represents an ancestor and was intended for domestic use.
Wood with worn patina, slight crack at the buttock groove.
