An ivory sculpture depicts an older, bald man in a patterned robe and leggings who leans forward on an irregular base. His left hand holds a tall staff topped with a cylindrical object and two horizontal arms; his right carries a bundle of thin sticks. With narrow eyes and a slight smile, his robe is tied with a sash at the waist.
