Warrior figure made of carved wood, with metal wire wrapped around the neck. The figure has distended earlobes, and is wearing a tall headdress. The feet are broken. The figure appears to be missing something that it was once holding, as there are circular holes in both hands. There is a faded, handwritten inscription on the back of the headdress.
