human figure

The inventoried figure has overlong legs and a stocky torso. Its hands have five fingers, each of which appears to be holding a staff. The figure is probably wearing a lizard-shaped mask. Its wide, half-open mouth corresponds to the mouth section of the zoomorphic stone sculptures of the Palmar group (1550-1000d.C.). (Künne 2005)
