This striking wooden figure stands tall and elongated, carved with angular limbs and an expressive, mask-like face. The exaggerated proportions — long legs, recessed eyes, and geometric shoulders — evoke traditional carving methods associated with African or Oceanic ritual figures.
A tufted horsehair crest crowns the figure, emphasizing its ceremonial presence. The rich patina and deep carving marks underscore its hand-crafted authenticity and spiritual gravitas.
