Statue representing a primordial ancestor in the form of a standing male figure. The composition is characterized by a synthetic stylization of volumes. The round head has two concave sections on either side of the nose and mouth. Circular eyes are engraved, while a small mouth projects slightly forward. The body is long and well-balanced. The arms are clearly clear of the trunk, introducing a play of lateral spaces that accentuate the powerful slenderness of the whole. The legs are firmly planted, reinforcing the stability of the whole. A brass beaded necklace adorns this representation of an ancestor.
Wood with a patina of use, brass, cracks, slight old damage to the base of the legs.
