Description
Représentant Pookanghoya, le plus jeune des dieux jumeaux de la guerre et petit-fils de la Femme-Araignée, cette statue en bois polychrome montre le personnage debout, dans une pose légèrement dansante, les bras semi-fléchis, les petites épaules crantées soutenant une tête casquée surmontée d’une coiffe en pointe. Le visage est marqué par un bec à la courbe prononcée, des oreilles asymétriques, des yeux protubérants, et orné de deux lignes verticales peintes en blanc sur chaque joue et d’une petite couronne en zigzag bicolore.
