Wooden statue of a man standing firmly on small... Lot 47

Wooden statue of a man standing firmly on small legs that are spread and bent. The shoulders and torso are broad, the arms with palms turned forward are free of the body and frame the narrow abdomen whose sides are marked with fine notches. The face, turned towards the sky, has expressive and prominent features. The large satellite ears frame the face with small circular eyes, dilated nostrils, and a prognathic mouth half-open with thick lips. Although this statuary is poorly documented, it can be linked to Komtin male society and was used in healing rituals.
