Originally, this little figure would have sat on a stool or chair that was constructed separately. It would have been secured by a tang at the feet and another at the buttocks. He is dressed in a long gown and a hat with a tiny knob on top. He may have originally had inlays of another material in his huge eyes. Despite the missing arm, both would have been bent at the elbows and holding their hands forward in a gesture of peace.
