Full original description

This statue forms a pair with the female statue and is the only couple of this ethnic group of which I have knowledge belonging to the same owner. The characteristics of this piece are generally the same as in the female version, a centimeter lower in height, different but also artistic ventral scarification and darker patina. The figure has a fairly androgynous aspect.
