Anthropomorphic wooden figure with mask. The mask has animal-like features with an open mouth, pointed fangs and triangular, pointed teeth in the upper row. It has large, round eyes and a third eye carved as a flower on the forehead. It is striking that the two tightly bent arms are pointing in different directions. The right arm appears to belong to the figure, while the left arm seems to belong to a creature holding on to the figure's stomach like a child. On the back of the figure, a long, multi-curled tail stands out, which appears to belong to a monkey. The legs are slightly bent, merging in one piece without a heel into the foot, from which five pointed toes turn towards the sky.
