Condition
Good condition overall. Extensive insect damage to the base of the figure. Large crack and splitting of the wood to the proper left side of the torso, another large crack to the reverse proper left of the figure from the head to the bottom of the torso, both old and stable. Minor cracks elsewhere. Chips to the extremities of the figure, including the geometric motifs on the torso and minor abrasion to the nose and chin of the figure. All wear consistent with age and use within the culture. Good preservation of the red and white pigment, very fine encrusted patina, particularly to the head with remnants of feathers.
