Description: | This figurine in the round is standing on an ivory base and is a yellow-white in colour. The arms have been carved in a flexed manner and afford two loops, possibly for suspension. There is a cavity in the top of the head for the application of medicine to enhance its power. The ring and dot feature of the eyes is repeated four times on the torso and is derived from an East African Arab influence. The feet are worn although there remains evidence of toes on the right foot.
