This wooden figurine, which comes from the excavations of El-Harage in 1914, represents a man standing on a rectangular socle. Dressed in a long kilt forming three folds at the front, he leans on a staff which he holds in the left hand. The right hand, which is alongside the body, held an attribute which has disappeared. The person is particularly distinguished by a shaven head, large eyes, thick lips and large ears. The piece, which dates from the Middle Kingdom, bears many traces of stucco and of the colour black.
