Protective statue presenting a standing figure carrying a bird's beak. Legs and arms are apart. Toes are suggested while hands are absent. He wears a belt and an adornment on the upper torso and back made of small balls. On the head, we find this motif indicating the hairstyle. The gaze is fixed and the enormous menacing beak points towards the sky.
This statue exudes both power and mystery. It is atypical and rare in size.
