Small carved human figure. It features little carving detail in the face or body. The arms that hang at the side are slim and fragile in appearance. The torso features no additional decorations and the legs appear to have knee bands. The feet of the figure are also block shaped and black. The figure appears to have a tall conical headdress. The top portion is red, the middle portion is white and the brim of the headdress is black. On the right side of the body is a paper label with serrated edges and the handritten note "LC1912 Manus".
