Although diminutive in form and features, the artist has captured a primal essence of expression with a simple curvilinear brow leading to the flared nose separating two slit eyes and bordered by C-form ears; the facial plane convex with a flat top and hollowed out interior; light brown wood with kaolin highlights on the face with areas of encrustations.
