Description: | This man wears a sarong, tied at the front to form a trapezoid panel. His chest shows defined pectoral muscles, his arms, now missing (303b/c in the Sainsbury Collection), were clearly attached with square pegs, the holes for which are visible. His face is delicately rendered, his nose is wide and his eyes lightly indented. His ears are protruding as is the back of his head. The grain of the wood runs verticvally and is very clear. In some places small cracks have opened up along the grain. The colour of the wood is largely chestnut brown, except a black mark on the rear of the head and white indentations on the sarong panel. His rear leg is now missing from the knee downwards; his front foot is also missing and was again attached with a pin.
