About this work
This squatting figure leaning against a tripod chair has a large head with a jutting jaw, bulbous eyes, a broad nose with large nostrils and large C-shaped ears positioned flat against the head. The hands of the figure grasp the two plaits of a beard protruding from either side of the chin, and the figure's legs are pulled up so that his knees touch his arms. At the very top of the head is a deep cavity.
