anthropomorphic figure

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