Openwork carving of a male deity or divine deceased, striding, facing right. He wears a divine bear and large wig, with a belt round the waist and kilt to the knees. The face is carved and displays black pigment around the eye and eyebrow. The left arm and both feet are missing, with the left leg suffering a break at the knee. On the back, the top of the figure appears to be covered in pale material, whereas the lower half of the figure displays the original wood. An attached label at the back reads 'Hofmuseum', and the E.Towry-Whyte catalogue lists this object as a duplicate "from the Vienna Museum'.
