Protective statue presenting a standing ancestral figure. The legs and arms are spread apart and the bust is bent forward. Toes and hands are represented which is not always the case. He wears a belt and wrist and bicep bracelets. Scarifications in the shape of coffee beans or cowries are present from the legs to the neck. We find this pattern on the character's hairstyle.
