DescriptionMiniature seated male figurine in which an integral backrest and projecting legs serve as a triangular support. Features almost animal-like, large applied ear spools and collar. Identification is based on the large flat "sombero-like" headdress and summary, but skilled modelling of simplified limbs. Brownish clay, headdress smoke blackened.
