Description

Male emaciated figure with the chest with ribs clearly visible. The figure stands in a slightly stooped posture with the arms hanging down the body and the hands resting on the thigh. The navel is also clearly visible. The genital is worked quite small and the feet have clearly visible toes. Large, slightly protruding ears are attached to the elongated head. The mouth is slightly open, so that the teeth are visible. Bushy eyebrows can be seen above the eyes. The eyes themselves consist of a bone disc and an obsidian disc inlaid into it as a pupil. The figure represents a male spirit being.
