Large statuette of man stood with left arm across chest, and right arm at side. Feet together on a wooden base (which has a unknown 'blu-tack'-like appearance. Considerable damage to statuette with left side of torso almost entirely missing, and a large quantity of the outer portion of the right arm is lost also. A vertical crack runs through the base, and there are incisions in the centre of the figure's back. There is some damage to the face. The figure appears to have been coated in a brown/black wax-like material at one stage, flakes of which have since come off over time. Doubtful authenticity.
Man, standing and naked, left side missing, with remains of brown wax (?) coating
