The ape-like figure combines zoomorphic and anthropomorphic attributes. It adopts a relaxed, standing posture. Its wide mouth corresponds to the mouth section of the zoomorphic stone sculptures from the Palmar group (1550-1000d.C.). The thin, long fingers give the figure an expressive look. The function of the handle is unknown. It is conceivable that the figure was hung, pinned up or pulled onto a textile. Although the object design emphasises the frontal view, there are also figures with a side view (cf. objects IV Ca 34192 and IV Ca 34193) and a top view (cf. object IV Ca 34288). Mason (1945: 270, Fig. 24a) depicts an anthropo-zoomorphic stone sculpture whose design corresponds closely with the inventoried metal object. The small, kneeling figure belongs to the Keith Collection and comes from the Las Mercedes site (1550-1000d.C.). (Künne 2005)
