Figure

Originally registered (1968) as possibly a Punjabi figure from India, however this appears to have been a mistaken guess. The donor didn't know where it was from and said "she had acquired it from a child who found it in the ocean". Based on its strong similarity to a Micronesian figure known to have been collected from Kuttu Island, Chuuk State, Federated States of Micronesia, the attribution for this figure has now been changed to Micronesian (2013).

Standing figure of a man wearing a loin cloth. Black hair protrudes backwards from head. Red and black details around waist, head, and ears. Extended ears (ear spools?).
