Physical description

Small carving of a man dressed in a parka with a pointed hood, short leggings and high boots. The right arm is raised above the head and is carved to hold an object, which is missing. The elbow of the left arm is bent at waist level and a circular hand protrudes from the sleeve. A face can be seen inside the raised hood, with delicately carved features and facial hair.
