content: Carved wooden figure, man standing on a base, with arms at sides. Hair, beard, and tattooed legs painted black. Purple fabric and red fabric loincloth. Holding badly damaged fringed bag. Other hand has hole for holding now-missing spear. Appears to have been broken -- deep cracks and adhesive visible on both ankles. Donor says this figure is missing a spear which he originally held in his right hand, and the hair piece worn by the "higher classes" (see E433030-0). He also notes that the wallet would hold various objects, including a betel nut set.
