Statue featuring a standing male figure. The arms are outstretched from the body, the belly is rounded with a prominent navel. The imposing genitalia show the importance of the lineage. A line of scarification marks runs from the navel to the neck. It then appears on the nasal bridge. The eyes are deep sockets, suggesting that perhaps beads or seeds were set into them to accentuate the gaze. The ears are oval-shaped, but we can see that the one on the right is missing a piece. The patina has covered the break. The head is topped by a conical headdress.
This statue is beautifully constructed. The lines are strong and very harmonious.
