Description: | The square face of this deity shows closed eyes with wide overarching eyebrows. The full mouth is closed, and the short nose has flared nostrils. The hat/headdress feature shows a long hanging ponytail-like feature at the back, with raised arc-like elements that surmounts the head. The curvilinear ears are set well back. There is some damage to the back right hand side, and significant internal damage. The light-coloured wood clearly shows the grain of the wood, and there are traces of dark red lacquer. The face id smoothly carved, but evidence of carving masks can be seen on the back of the head.
