Full original description
Mystical husband figure. Expression of the sweet and serene face, of a pure ballet style. Short and strong legs, arms along the body with hands lodged over the belly.
Numerous scarifications spread throughout the body. Short and firm beard, pharaonic style, which confers great authority on the face. In fact, it seems that this type of beard would be a vestige of the passage of Egyptians through these lands. Both the face and hair are delicately carved. Some small cracks due to the passage of time.
