Full original description
Figure of a character sitting on a stool with a scepter shaped like a thick arrow in his hands. The stool and the scepter suggest that it is a king or at least a remarkable character. He is touched with a salacot hat, copied from European settlers, to increase his prestige. He has thick collars on his neck, bracelets ringed on his legs, two on his right and three on his left, and a thick cord like a belt. Light mud patina.
