Still life of a carved wooden sculpture depicting a human-like form with short, stocky legs and wide, protruding shoulders, from which short, thick arms hang at right angles. Raised dots form vertical lines along the sternum and sides of the neck; the face is round and flat, with thin, protruding eyes, lips, and nose, and a rectangular shape sits atop the head.
