Full original description
Small hammer of percussion that presents the figure of a remarkable boulé delicately sculpted, with a fine strokes and an expression of serenity difficult to get in a sculpture of such small size. The remarkable one, as his scarifications show, carries his hands to the belly as a sign of welcome and peace. Beautiful patina for use.
