Carving
Physical description
Carving of an abstract group of spirits(?). Four extremities form the base of the figure: three extend down from the head of a figure, two appear to be horns, and the other is a pointed ear. The fourth extremity has a very abstract face, with a long inward-folding lower lip. At the top, a small child-like figure is suckling from a breast(?) or jug with their legs dangling down. Extending from his genital area are two elongated breasts (possibly also representing scrotum). Attached to the child-like figure is a deconstructed face with a scrotum and penis. The wood is mottled - both dark brown-black and light orange-brown.
